Dreaming with Mixed Reality (DreaMR) engages with the human experience of dreaming through art, music and consciousness science. Using cutting-edge Mixed Reality (MR), we approach dreaming like surrealist paintings: experiences that reside halfway between the visible and the invisible. MR technology is uniquely suited for this purpose, because it positions the audience not within a virtual world (like VR technology does) but in a liminal space that blends the real with the un-real, the conscious with the unconscious, the physical world with the world of dreams. We created series of interactive MR scenes for Meta Quest 3 headset, which engages with dreaming in different ways. Each scene features an interactive 3D environment inspired by work art, music and narration.

Amy Beach chose a quote from Victor Hugo“You Speak to Me from the Depth of a Dream” as an epigraph for her composition “Dreaming” from Four Sketches Op. 15 and which served as a symbolic representation of our visuals in Mixed Reality.

Alice Dali MR is based on Salvador Dali’s illustrations for “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” with original music composed by Svetlana Rudenko and narration from Lewis Carroll’s book.
