ONEIRIC SPACE gathers, connects and publishes research that explores the relationship between dreams and waking life at an individual and collective level. It also examines dreams as a site for gesturing towards new patterns of being, feeling, and imagining together.
ONEIRIC SPACE was initiated by Charmaine Li and is shaped by conversations and collaborations with Effie Efthymiadi, Oana Tudoran, Fariba Bogzaran, Synchrodogs, Jakob Lusensky, Studio Brasch, Anna Nowicka, Misa Tsuruta, Jeannette Pang, DADDY Magazine, Manisha Anjali, Goitseone Montsho, Mina Heydari-Waite, Sharon Sliwinski, Tatiana Heuman, Siestaria, Nick Koppenhagen, Carina Erdmann, dreamXchange/ 0ct0pus, Claudia de la Torre, Artists’ Book Workshop, Est-Nord-Est d’artistes residence, Künstlerdorf Schöppingen.
Our research is collected through conversations, publications, personal archival materials, and participatory gatherings. Currently, our findings are circulated through a newsletter, artistic publications, and public readings. Our activities are slow and sporadic.
~BEGINNINGS~
ONEIRIC SPACE began as an online publication featuring intimate conversations about dream life with individuals from the realms of art, science, psychology and design. To mirror the idiosyncratic nature of dream experiences, each interview was designed to correspond to the content of the conversation and the dream-related material provided by the interviewee. The logo, website, and interviews were designed and developed by Studio Push. www.oneiric.space was live from 2019-2020, and is now an online interview archive. Since then, ONEIRIC SPACE has grown into a web of research, publications and gatherings.
