Empire of Sleep is an exploration of subconscious externalized through narrative and temporal structure of cinema adapted to the medium of real time graphics and user interaction. Time is emphasized, in which a single moment is in a suspended state, yet you can navigate within the frame on a different scale. The touch screen installation displays interactive stereoscopic 3D renderings of a surreal landscape haunted by a catastrophic event, sculpting a frozen moment of time in an iterating loop, fading away much like images fracture and lose definition as a dream is forgotten. “The Beach” is the first part of a series.
