Dream Archives

in 2012 we reLaunch WWDW. and the project is Alive again, we're registrating dreamz of Tbilisi




WWDW [World Wide Dream Web] -- art research in the fields of psychogeography and dreams.

1. cities are living organisms, pixels on the map of the planet, so the roads and buildings, people and dreams are the cells of this 'organism'.we want to know the dreams and nightmares of your city, we want to tell this dreams to everyone.

2. we think that the Art of Dream Sharing is a lost art. dreams are gift, Open source bio-internet with the free access and amazing possibilities, we think that the low role of dreams in ones life is a cultural bug.
we want to bring the dreams back to the life.
----

Dream Registration

by creating online surveys, temporary street theaters, meetings and seminars - our goal is to make world wide art archive of current dreams of the cities.

through the nonstop local dream registrations
we are migrating from city to city
collecting current dreams of people.

the final step of local dream registration processes is
the analysis of local city's current dream archive, and based on this information the making of city's Dream Map and Dream Exhibition working with local artists, musicians, programmers etc.
-------

Dream Potlatch

the team of WWDW dream workers are trying to practice Dream Potlatch.
to every new city - we bring the dreams of the previous city as a free gift.


TELL US IF YOU WANT TO SEE US IN YOUR CITY!

Parallel Culture Programming,illegal Cosmonautics and other smArt Concepts from the depths of the 2nd World

early PDF version[work for master diploma \Sociology] of new book by Esma Berikishvili:



description/introduction by Esma Berikishvili:
"This paper examines the emergence of the ‘alternative’ culture in Georgia in 2006 and maps the
structure of the artistic field. 


I focus my study on artistic collaboration “Eurasian Laboratory”
and I argue, by using Anthony Cohen’s theory of symbolic construction of community, that they
create an ‘alternative’ community through art as a social activity.Using Pierre Bourdieu’s theory
of field and practice, I show how the artistic field is formed and influenced by several political
happenings in Georgia from 1917 till 2003.


 I expose the issue of cultural policy in order to understand the priorities of the State in cultural field and to examine how the State apparatus by providing the dominant symbolic system, excludes ‘alternative’ cultural forms, forms that do not fit in State’s understanding of culture. Following this lines, I trace how artists engage in struggle for legitimation over proper/improper modes of expression.


 I will also demonstrate how “Eurasian Laboratory” with using subversive cultural forms produces an alternative space for creating music, prose and poetry, which is free from any kind of aesthetic and political restrictions. In addition, I analyze how Georgian context as well as external forces affects formation of the community and art, by looking at the deeper levels of “Laboratory’s” art works."

year: 2006

Software 2013

1. Once we were all experimented on. Then doctors became extinct like dinosaurs, and we were left alone. Yet, it is uncertain whether the docs have really died out or it is another trick or experiment of theirs. One way or another, we – the patients have seized the deserted laboratory and keep running the started experiments.

2. Free art and unlimited experiments – is the main philosophy of the lab patients. The laboratory is ready to stick to the operating mode in the post-apocalyptic system. The lab explores the most fundamental problems of an individual and the Present and the tunnels of reality. The lab also studies the methods of constructing and deconstructing the reality.

The laboratory is interested in:
Schizophrenia, autism, nuclear sunrises, cosmic migration, euthanasia, loneliness, drugs, theories of conspiracy and paranoia, cybernetic perspectives, revolt of the third world, embryonic dreams, coma, post-biological abilities of a human being, totalitarianism…
Laboratory knows that you fucked up morons… oh, yes!

3.

The list of laboratory patients is as follows:
[Patient 0 _ Z0mb! Patient 3x9 _ Paris Lee Patient Minus Infinity _ Vodka boy Patient 13 _ Paata Shamugia Patient 1 _ Ana Tabatadze Patient Eight squared divided by sixteen -- Acorn Guy Patient Nothing -- Beska Patient 69 _ Unperceivable]
The numbers and wards of other patients are vacant so far.

4. The patients of the deserted lab feed on the yellow pills of futurism, red pills of dada and light-red pills of situationism. They study and spread the consequences and experience of the saint patients of psychedelia. We love experiments, sex, wrong films, postmodern girls and Kindzadza - the most "pilled" film of the Soviet experiment.

The goals Laboratory is trying to achieve are:
a) Introduction of S.M.I(2).L.E. and D.I.Y. principles.
b) Numerous activities, concerts, spreading of man-made media viruses (including the activities to support the yet unborn first Georgian astronaut, physo-geographic tours and concerts with the participation of Eurasian (and not only) experimental, pop and alternative groups).
c) Formation of alternative flow of information_
journal, forums, web-site, recording studio, radio, etc.

The project-viruses of the laboratory already in action are:
[psychotropic poetry -- Patient 0, imperativism -- Patient 13, fragmented prose -- Patient minus infinity, illegal KOSMONAVTIKA – Patient 0 & Patient 1]

music bands:
[Accidental Lover BoyZ,Nothing FM,Urban SkyZ 5ule,sმინდა და ვთხრი,სპანდერა და კომპარტია,Who the FUCK is Jack Bauer?]

d) Experiments on the ontological fundamentals of the civilization, experiments on the key codes of the culture, such as: standard physics, family, moral, economy, taboo, art, religion, justice… Laboratory has the ambition to be all-absorbing. Laboratory is the Antonin Artaud's "Theatre of Cruelty". Laboratory is the womb, where progressive mutations ripen. Laboratory doesn't give a FUCK to Vano Merabishvili[
minister of Internal Affairs of Georgia], Laboratory demands legalization.

5. We are living in the country which is underground the world. We are just 20 years old, and we have already been through war, fear, dark, cold, drug-addiction, alcoholism, missing pals and three vain, attempted experiments of building the State.

We are just 20 years old, but we already have accumulated enough hatred, mistrust and yearning for warmth to dance on the ruins.

We do not talk to our country – we talk to the whole planet!

And now, in anticipation of the coming wars and cosmic migrations we, patients, take hold of the laboratory, as the doctors are gone.

We believe that the religion of future is cosmic religion (entropic, situationist, vigorous, free of dogmas or priests).

We place an individual above countries and politics.

An individual is fear. An individual is a project.

An individual is the one who has seized the station and hesitates over pushing or not pushing the red button to launch atom bomb.


This is an orgasmic-existential approach.
