SleepStates is a sound work exploring machine addiction, sleep territories and sonic algorithmic control. Utilising sound sculpture, DIY electronics, broken radio transmissions and an AI trained on lucid dreams, self help slumber fragments and cyber-socialist manifestos.The piece is part of my ongoing SLEEP_STATESDOTNET project, a browser based artwork where the user sleepwalks between different states or audiovisual moments of anxiety, inertia and online perpetuity. I collaborated with digital artist Izzy Bolt who created the video piece working with TouchDesigner. The work premiered at MUTEK Montreal in Sept 2020, as part of the DISTANT ARCADES virtual exhibition for the hybrid festival
