Sleep hinders the restless movement of capital, which doesn’t have a sleep mode and vilifies regeneration phases as wasted time. Research on sleep aims to optimise it to a minimum. Together with a musician, a programmer, and a neuroscientist, Marina Gioti creates a continuously changing real-time environment based on sleep rhythm data. She translates it into sounds and kinetic objects that manifest in a dark garden full of plants, whose growth, in turn, depends on an own rhythm.
