Dream Director (artwork)
The ''Dream Director'' was a touring installation by artist Luke Jerram, which continued the artist's exploration of creating art inside people's heads ("on the edges of perception") rather than in the physical world. It was first staged in Bristol in 2007, and toured in subsequent years. Participants in the ''Dream Director'' (usually 20 in total) stayed overnight in specially designed sleep pods. Each participant wore an eye mask which detected Rapid Eye Movement. When a mask detected the participant was in REM sleep - and was therefore probably dreaming - the participant was played a short sound clip through speakers embedded in the sleep pod. Each participant was assigned a certain sound set for the night, although they would not find out what sounds they were being played until the following morning (after they had written down any dreams they had). Each sound set was a group of sound effects with a specific theme: early experiments showed that being played a wide variety o ...
