In collaboration with Micro-Cosmos, a sleeping capsule for hospitals and other care facilities, I'm researching sleep as a topic to create an artwork. For this I read the book Why We Sleep: The New Science of Sleep and Dreams by Matthew Walker amongst many other resources.
Micro-Cosmos
• Listened to serval podcast episodes The Matt Walker Podcast on topics about Sleep that were not covered in the book; https://open.spotify.com/show/1aIVAabjRjnmiouX0zCzF3
• Read the book Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self: Interpreting Messages from Your Future by Eric Wargo
• Read the text Dreaming-machine: Diurnal Insomnia in Digital Wonderland by Marek Wojtaszek
• Read the text DreamLLM-3D: Affective Dream Reliving using Large Language Model and 3D Generative AI
(Decided to abandon the Dream idea)
Goal; Create awareness about the importance of rest/sleep. Rest as Resistance
Questions for LIMA

Not a specific technology but I would like to know more about the impact of technology in general

Might be interesting to look at installations (Smaller/intimate)
