Coded Dreams from ONX members Marc Da Costa and Matthew Niederhauser is an innovative exhibition that encourages audiences to explore the frontiers of artificial intelligence and unlock the doors of their imagination through two unique and captivating installations: “Tulpamancer” and “The Golden Key.”

Coded Dreams creates a universe where technology and art meet to weave mesmerizing narratives, where complex data is transformed into dreamlike participatory experiences. There will also be a special conversation with the artists this Wednesday, October 9 at 6:30PM about their work and the future role of artificial intelligence in creative practices.

Tulpamancer is a revolutionary VR work that offers a unique exploration of yourself. By sharing your memories and visions of the future, you become the architect of an intimate and fascinating encounter with your tulpa, an artificial intelligence that explores and reflects upon your personal stories.

The exhibition then continues with The Golden Key, an immersive work that brings audiences into contact with the mythological dreams of an AI as it writes and visualizes a never-ending story, where every choice you make influences the course of the narrative.

These installations were  official selections at South by Southwest (SXSW) 2024  where The Golden Key won the Jury Award in the XR Experience Competition, Venice Film Festival 2023, and the 28th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.
