The experience

Dreams in the age of artificial intelligence

    Created by Femme Fatale Studio, in a continuous stream of moving images, landscapes appear and then dissolve, faces form and then fade away, composing a dreamlike universe where memory, desire, and the unconscious merge.

     

    Created with artificial intelligence as co-author, the work blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, inviting the viewer on a poetic journey where logic gives way to sensation. Femme Fatale Studio, a Parisian collective of filmmakers, artists, designers, and engineers, designs immersive experiences that combine technological innovation and visual poetry. With Oniria, the studio and director Arnaud Desjardins continue their exploration of the porosity between the virtual and the real, offering a work in which machines dream alongside humans. 

     

    Carried by a soundscape that erodes our bearings, this sensory experience transforms space into a mental territory that is fragile, unsettling, and strikingly beautiful.
