Sleep Waking

Using recorded brainwave activity and eye movements during REM sleep to determine robot behaviors and head positioning, "Sleep Waking" acts as a way to "play-back" dreams. Through this piece we hope to investigate one of the possible human-robot relationships.

Sleep Waking is currently on view at Exit Art as part of the exhibition BrainWaves: Common Senses.

Exit Art is located at 475 10th Ave in New York City. For more information, call (212)966-7745 or visit www.exitart.org.

I'm a turkish robot

This could be fun to experiment with; and would help those who might need help remembering their dreams. It's one step closer to showing others our dreams.

That was beyond eeriest thing I have seen in a great while. It looks more human than any robot I have ever seen, the way it postures is more human than a person could mimic.

Arriba El Salvador, arriba Fernando Orellana, tu padre me envió este video y no lo podia creer, en buena hora un logro para nuestra gente.

wow, I didn't think that technology was possible, thoe the brain wave recordings must have been a nightmare.

[wafflols]

even though its not ai, just because there is a wire connecting it is no basis to judge that on. if it were, whose to say there arent computers with the ai program on it (though there are not).

oh, i get it ha ha ha...no

Great job !

This robot is replaying the human dreams.

When You sleep, machine is reading Your eye,heart and (main) brain parameters, then the robot read it, and replay it. Cool.
