Participants write their dreams in a public, virtual field; the garden narrates them through an interactive soundscape. There, through an array of motion and proximity sensors, visitors triggered a soundscape: zones of white noise, whispers, augmented sounds, and narrated dreams - spoken through trees. The project is a hearing-aid to a collective unconscious: it generates a surreal, other-worldly break with reality, expanding the range of the possible within the public realm. Whereas dreamgrove’s virtual component is ongoing, the Interactive Garden has been realized as a temporary installation- last exhibited at the Athens Byzantine Museum in 2008. Dreamgrove.org is the recipient of the 2009 Webby Award in the NetArt category. The iPhone App was launched to mark the opening of the 2009 Hong Kong + Shenzhen Bi-City Biennale of Architecture/Urbanism, where the project was featured.
