What will you unlock with The Daydream Machine?

Powered by an AI “dreamer”, this Machine analyses your movements, stance and presence to create your very own shifting portrait, rendered in real-time on its large-scale screens.

Strange, surreal and continually changing, these daydreams are inspired by your every move, offering new scenes or even shifting art-styles and tone.

Play the muse and strike a pose. Or if things look a little chaotic, you could stand still to add serenity into the mix. Maybe you're more into an impromptu song and dance? Either way, be surprised at what shakes loose.

Rather than asking you to learn how it works, The Daydream Machine encourages you to explore, engaging our bodies and igniting our imaginations with a different dream each visit.
