Everything you can imagine is real. - Pablo Picasso
Technology has always been influencing the form and intensity of our experience while at the same time changing our imagination of the future. Such imagination includes a sort of high-spirited progressivism but also implies an ambivalence which could be partly attributed to the re-understanding of reality: from photoshopped selfies to AI lover, from social personas to virtual identities, we have re-shaped reality and our relationship with it. When information loses its body and action is modulated by technologies, “virtual” has reclaimed its original meaning, that is the potential or force to develop into actual existence.
This work is a performative response to the current situation and a rehearsal of possible relations between the live modes of existence and generative representation. When sound, image, body and program are all “performers” and “agents” on the stage, what we want to create is a real dream.
And when we wake up, are we not facing nothing but another dream?
你能想象的一切都是真的。——毕加索
技术一直在影响我们经验世界的方式和程度，也改变着我们对未来的想象。这种想象既包括一种昂扬的进步主义，也隐藏一种纠结的不确定感。这种纠结部分来自于我们对“真实”的重新体认：在美颜相机与人工智能情人之间，在社交面具与虚拟身份之间，真实以及我们和它之间的关系被重新塑造了。当信息失去身体，当行动受技术调制，“虚拟”也因而被重新赋予它最原初的意义，也即一种成为“现实”的潜能。
这件作品是对当下的一次表演性的回应，也是对活生生的存在与生成性的再现之间可能的关系的排演。当声音、图像、身体、程式都成了舞台上的“表演者”和“行动者”，我们想创造的是一个真实的梦。
而当我们醒来，我们面对的是否是另一个梦？
