Cosmologyscape
Cosmologyscape is an invitation to the public to dream. Created by artists Kite and Alisha B Wormsley, and selected in Creative Time’s 2022 Open Call, the multimedia and participatory public art project unfolds over the summer and fall of 2024, across multiple sites, digital and in public space.
Cosmologyscape seeks to harness the duality of dreams—as both individual tools of self-awareness and collective acts of imagination and world-building—and encourages the exploration of dreaming practices through an artist designed interface. First, visit www.cosmologyscape.com to begin your dream journal, facilitated by Dream Paths designed by a group of interdisciplinary artists. Your dreams shared with Cosmologyscape will then be translated into a pattern derived from Lakota visual language and Black quilting references, represented in a growing digital tapestry of our collective dreams, and ultimately, a series of sculptures unveiled in the fall, designed for further rest and dreaming. The individual dreams entered will be stored and viewable as a participatory public artwork and a repository of our collective dreams until December 31, 2024.
