The project discusses the emotional and psychological relationship between humans and machines.

The project generates artificially intelligent dreams in real time through machine learning based on camera-captured images of the live environment and a large number of human dreams. These dreams are re-packaged through creative metaphors about human perception, imagination and primitive impulses, and dreams construct internal copies of the external world, reactivating and simulating human perception through mental imagery and imagination.

Yixuan Xu is a Chinese multidisciplinary artist and designer whose recent practice revolves around the intersection of art and technology in the field of computational culture, working with computer vision, artificial intelligence natural language processing, and interactive installations as her primary creative medium to understand the potential and impact of technology in a broader cultural and social context.
