Talk_about_Dreams
At the Edge of Consciousness. Sightseeing in the Realm of Dreams
A symposium in collaboration with the AoN_Platform for Art and Neuroscience, framed by Live Performance No.2 »Phobetor« by Driftmachine
Within the context of the exhibition The Name of Shades of Paranoia, Called Different Forms of Silence by Viron Erol Vert, curated by Dr. Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung and Solvej Helweg Ovesen within the frame of UP (Unsustainable Privileges)
The symposium will be held in English and will give the audience the chance to explore the science and culture of dreams from different disciplinary perspectives and to engage with leading scientists in the field. It is presented as a collaboration between Galerie Wedding and AoN_Platform for Art and Neuroscience represented by Dr. Elena Agudio (AoN; SAVVY Contemporary) and Dr. Joerg Fingerhut (Berlin School of Mind and Brain, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin; AoN).The participating scientists come from different fields of sleep / dream / cultural research and will give short presentations related to their work. Dr. Agudio and Dr. Fingerhut will lead through the event and interrelate between the dream topic of the symposium and the Dr. Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikungs curatorial concept of the »Dreamatory« exhibition by Viron Erol Vert.
Dr. Elena Agudio is the artistic director of the »Association of Neuroesthetics« (AoN), a platform for Neuroscience and Art, promoting projects, interdisciplinary research and knowledge exchange between art and cognitive sciences, in collaboration with the Medical University of Charité and The School of Mind and Brain of the Humboldt University. She is also artistic co-director at SAVVY Contemporary.
Dr. Joerg Fingerhut is the scientific director of the Berlin based »Association of Neuroesthetics« (AoN_a platform for Neuroscience and Art). He is postdoctoral researcher at the Berlin School of Mind & Brain (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin) where he works on the role cultural artifacts (like architecture, film, pictures) play for the kinds of minds we are.He also conducts experiments on our evaluation of art an the role the emotion of wonder plays therein.
Dr. med. Pascal Grosse is head of Neurologische Schlafmedizin (Neurological Sleep Medicine) of the Clinic for Experimental Medicine, Medical University of Charité and has explored both the neural underpinnings and psychology of sleep and dreaming as well as the history and culture of dreams. His presentation is titled »Iconographic Representations of Dream Spaces – Past and Present«.
Dr. Holger Brohm teaches »Kulturen des Traumes« at the department of Cultural Science Aesthetics, Institute for Cultural Science, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
Amna Ghani is a PhD student in Computational Neuroscience at the Charité – University Medicine Berlin. She holds an MSc in Clinical and Cognitive Neuroscience from Goldsmiths, University of London. In her PhD, she explores the individuality of music emotion processing by using the large-scale brain network modelling. Her other research interests include creative problem solving, brain computer interfaces and cognitive training. She is also a member of doctoral program of Berlin School of Mind and Brain and Machine Learning Group, Technical University of Berlin.
The Symposium starts at 7 pm and is framed by the second concert in the Oneiro Trilogy by Driftmachine – Oneiro Trilogy Live Performance No.2 »Phobetor«. The Driftmachine concert will begin at 6 pm and resume after the talk until approximatley 10 pm.

Driftmachine are a Berlin-based duo comprised of Andreas Gerth (Tied & Tickled Trio) and Florian Zimmer (Saroos). Within the frame of Viron Erol Vert’s exhibition they are playing three different live shows in total at Galerie Wedding – the so called Oneiro Trilogy. In Viron Erol Vert’s installation that the artist calls »Dreamatory« the soundscapes created by Driftmachine will function as a psychoactive, dream-inducing stimulant of sorts, referring to the mythological dream goods Morpheus, Phobetor and Phantasos. Driftmachine’s first show, Oneiro Trilogy Live Performance No.1 »Morpheus«, was played at the exhibition opening on February 9. The second concert by Driftmachine — Oneiro Trilogy Live Performance No.2 »Phobetor«— will be framing the artist talk »Talk_about_Dreams« on March 3, at 6pm and until approximately 10 pm. The last concert of the Oneiro Trilogy Live Performance No.3 »Phantasos« will accompany a Live Drawing Performance by Viron Erol Vert and will begin in the late afternoon of March 23, at 5 pm.
