In a poetic interpretation of the »Overfitted Brain Hypothesis« (OBH), the artist links neuroscience with new technologies such as Extended Realities and Artificial Intelligence to examine their role in accessing and revealing different aspects of human consciousness. OBH compares the purpose of dreaming to a certain aspect of Artificial Intelligence (AI). For AI to deliver meaningful results it needs to be fed with a sufficiently variable dataset and to increase variations, it can be interspersed with noise and glitches. OBH argues that dreaming works as a similar noise injection.
