Tesseract Daydreams

Scroll

How much of what we see is truly ours, and how much is merely the echo of images, codes, and cultural structures we learned to inhabit before we even knew we were inhabiting them?

Tesseract Daydreams emerges from that suspicion and gives it form. The project takes its title from a double metaphor: the box—the television, the device that, frame by frame, has spent decades manufacturing our collective imaginary—and the tesseract, the four-dimensional hypercube whose totality no three-dimensional eye could ever encompass in a single glance. From this geometric tension emerges the series’ symbolic axis: an awareness of the machine itself, the precise moment when the apparatus that watches us and programs us begins, in turn, to dream itself into being. The series does not illustrate this idea; it unsheathes it.
