These will both be happening between other interesting things which are detailed on the Collective Gallery’s website.
Hope to see you at some of the events/talks!

I dreamt last night that I was in the middle of another collaborative project with Andy. We were in a house, a little shack in the middle of what looked like a desert. There was a road just outside the door…JUST outside. We had to borrow Maddison (Heathers mini) to get up to this green field. We were doing something there over 3 days and I had to phone my work and tell them I couldnt come in because I had to install whatever we were installing in the field. Back at the little shack I looked out the door there was a cow lying down on the road. It was huge! I shouted on Andy and a big truck came and passed by over the cow but it had disappeared. Andy was very bossy!!

I am considering drawing my ‘dream city’ perhaps in a form of map or plan. I imagine it would be of some interest to see it mapped out. I have awareness of getting from one place to another in some instances but not in others. In making it clear in a a diagram it may in turn make it clearer when I am dreaming. I possibly will then figure out that it is actually a real city that is only unrecognisable as this city in my dreams. It may also be a city I have conjured up in my subconscious, or an amalgamation of countless elements of real cities I have been to at points throughout my life. I think (most likely) it is a union of everything I take in on a daily basis. The things I hear but am not conscious of hearing, see but not conscious of seeing etc and also the things I am cognisant of in my life.
Another activity I have been undertaking recently is paying attention and taking notes when I would normally remain in my own little world. Walking to the bus stop when returning home from college I would more often than not be thinking about something random, possibly to do with the day in general or the one to come. Whatever it was I have been ignoring that and listening to the fractions of conversations I hear when passing people and jotting them down. (See the last post for an example)
