Growing research suggests that we may be able to alter and even guide our dreams through subtle communication with the sleeping brain.
Created by Höller in collaboration with Haar Horowitz and light artist Seth Riskin of the MIT Museum Studio and Compton Gallery, Hotel Room #2: Communal Dreams (2025) puts this emerging research into practice. The installation invites three sleepers to share a dream through synchronized patterns of light, sound, and motion.
Join us to experience Hotel Room #2 firsthand, on view through August 2026 as part of Lighten Up: On Biology and Time, and explore the science, ethics, and untapped potential of dream engineering in this evening of conversation between Höller and Haar Horowitz.
