untitled [tilburg] treats dreaming as an interface between lived movement and subconscious perception. I walked through Tilburg without a predetermined route, recording my path with GPS and never repeating a street. The following night, I wore an EOG device that recorded the lateral movement of my eyes as I slept.
From these two recordings, I generated a time-lapse video of Google Street View imagery following the route and duration of the walk. The REM data determined when each frame appeared, so that the rhythm of the images came from my sleeping eyes rather than my walking body. Walking and dreaming become parallel forms of navigation.
Installed as a two-channel projection with accompanying map sequences, the work brings three different times into one field: a walk through the city, a night of sleep, and the machine’s earlier photographs of the same streets.
