I Don't Sleep at Night is a multi-media installation that combines theater, game design, and virtual reality. Visitors are invited to enter a theatrically immersive space arranged as a sleep disorder patient’s room. By interacting with the objects within the space, visitors can co-create the narrative of a sleep disorder patient’s story. In the center of the room, a VR device serves as an entrance to guide visitors to a future world. In the future world, will humans still be living on a 24-hour cycle? Is "daytime" really THE “daytime"?
I Don't Sleep at Night is presented in partnership with Hybrid Arts Lab, a multi-venue learning lab that experiments with how art is imagined, made, viewed and understood within physical and digital spaces.
