Project:"Of Day, Of Night"

A map of sorts. A handful of objects. A problem with dreaming.

"Of Day, Of Night" is an experimental new media work for CD-ROM exploring the intersections of narrative and interactivity. A hybrid of cinematic, textual and interactive elements, it finds resonances between dream experience and the unexpected associations inherent in new media forms. In "Of Day, Of Night", found objects and their imagined traces and histories assist a woman who has a problem with dreaming. "Of Day, Of Night" was produced in 2000 and 2001, and will premiere in Australia in late 2001. Made in association with the Australian Film Commission and the University of Technology, Sydney.
