Sleeping Productivity

Ongoing: 2016 - ...

Can I translate my sub-conscious body movement during my sleep into a (functional) object?

Wake up to a new idea

While our lives today revolve around packed schedules, we still need to spend a third of our lifetime sleeping. Being a restless sleeper myself I came up with ideas to turn the energy spent on resting into productive energy. Physical night-time activity, your tossing and turning, can be translated into sculptural physical objects using Dion’s installation ‘Sleeping Productivity’.

At the current chapter, the production method is a (self-)created mechanism, which translates my body movement to a layer of polyurethane and depending on my sleeping activity shapes a unique object. Every movement is equal to an amount of A and B component polyurethane being poured down a trail and ending into a mold. Each color symbolises a new night. Every piece is different, a reflection of my sleep.
