"You Were In My Dream"

You Were In My Dream by Australian artists Van Sowerwine and Isobel Knowles is an exhilarating interactive installation that involves the viewer directly, inviting them to leap and cavort from the enchanted to the fraught in mere moments. Seated at a simple wooden housing, the viewer places their face in a small hollow from which the image of their expression is fed live onto the face of the child character featured on the computer screen within. Using a mouse, the viewer navigates through a choose-your-own-adventure style narrative. Through technology a new kind of narrative experience is created. One that, instead of asking you to identify with the main character, turns you into the main character!
