Stan VanDerBeek’s Cine Dreams is an overnight event originally performed for three nights in 1972 in Rochester, New York, with assistance from the Visual Studies Workshop. Cine Dreams is meant to be experienced collectively during various sleep cycles as an experiment in altering our subconscious through image immersion. The present iteration includes 25 simultaneous projections comprising 47 films transferred to video and 5 digital slideshows. Computer animations, newsreels, live-action dance, found imagery, and collage films blend and contrast to create a vivid impression of 20th-century America as processed by one of the era's most forward-thinking minds. Closed-circuit imagery of audience members and images of the night sky are also woven into the continuously evolving overhead collage of image and sound. Details of dreams that occurred during the screening will be collected following the event.What is the effect of images superimposed on the edge of sleep? Is your dream state pre-coded and isolated? What is the possibility of new social rituals using multimedia to unite group consciousness? Is it possible to find a mythic common image, a non-verbal reference point that a group can identify and relate to? Is this the future cinema, a new ‘dream factory?’Stan VanDerBeek, 1972Courtesy of the Stan VanDerBeek Archive. Special thanks to Planetario Galileo Galilei, Veronica Espino and her team of technicians for hosting this ‘Hopscotch (Rayuela)’ work.
