That’s the question being asked of the U of T community this week by a band of roving photographers.
With a whiteboard in hand, we will ask to have your dreams captured so they can be shared as part of an exhibit for the 2013 Scotiabank Nuit Blanche—Toronto’s annual night-long arts festival.
The exhibit—called My Virtual Dream—showcases the research of Randy McIntosh, a professor in the Institute of Medical Sciences and Department of Psychology, who is leading the development of a virtual brain. This research will power an artistic experience that crosses boundaries of art, science and technology by creating a novel way to communicate through images and music.
The exhibit is being presented by U of T’s Faculty of Medicine and Baycrest.
The photos will be used as part of the exhibit to show the variety of dreams—and dreamers— situated at U of T. The display will debut on October 5 at sundown and continue until the sun comes up the next morning.
