▓ How to Make Your Dreams Come True Using Blender 2.80

The exhibited project was created especially for the UM Gallery and Dedek develops his previous experience with a participatory performance. The project is set in the backdrop of co-working offices, which are both a relatively new type of shared space and a symbol of the increasingly important phenomenon of precariousness and economic uncertainty in the era of late capitalism. The UM Gallery will be transformed into an instructional and working environment. The artist will present himself as a lecturer at several public tutorials and will present to a wide audience the possibility of realizing their own dreams, viewers will save this experience in their memories.

Upcoming performances are based on the format of Youtube tutorials, in which the lecturer replaces their own voice by communication through a text editor in which they write in real-time. The whole act thus proceeds in complete silence and although the lecturer is physically in space, their presence is reduced to the movement of the mouse cursor. However, this alienation is repeatedly disrupted by coincidence, the influence of memories and immediate decisions that enter the process and turn the tutorial into a spontaneous stream of personal consciousness,” says Viktor Dedek.

In this case, Viktor Dedek sees the dream not only as a state of unconscious projection but also as a conscious construction of individual wishes, ideas, and desires. For this purpose, Viktor Dedek uses free generally available software and web tools. We can mention in the title of the project the latest version of the 3D program Blender 2.80, basic text editor, Youtube channels, social networks, Google Translate or freeware allowing simple flow chart construction", explains the curator of the exhibition Jen Kratochvil.

In addition to the previously announced tutorials, which should take place between 4 and 5 pm, the gallery space will be used as a co-working office. Under pre-defined rules, it will also be available to visitors who will be able to use it to bring their dreamlike fragments together into usable, online 3D distributable model banks.
