SLEEP WITH ME:

On beds, the unconscious and the nighttime 

The January seminar ‘Sleep With Me’ brought together the makers and designers of thoughts and manufacturers of nighttime knowledge. We have unravelled oneiric creative potentials as we explored hypnosis as a means to define new economic models and labour systems and even question what machines and dinosaurs dream of. The audience have learnt how our subconscious is used in films, while questioning oneiric aesthetics and other fantastical natural and technological whims.

SERIES.

HOMO SAPIENS, I HEAR YOU


This yearlong series of non-linear, non-conventional, and non-passive seminars will question and re-think humanity’s essential needs; and consider whether the modern practice of design addresses them.


Conceived in collaboration with award-winning director of experiences, Dr. Nelly Ben Hayoun, the curriculum is framed around American psychologist Abraham Maslow’s “Hierarchy of Needs”, which offers a model that defines the needs of human beings - from the most basic functions (eating, sleeping, etc.) to the more fulfilling (self-improvement, practicing sports, etc.). Our seminars will unravel how human needs have developed through history and how they might continue to develop over time.
