During the Oneiric Soils Residency Jamie Perera and Jemma Foster made recordings of an olive tree growing in the house where the residents were sleeping. Recordings were taken using multiple devices to measure the electricity biodata of the tree, at sunset as it went to 'sleep' and a few hours later during human REM cycles.
These recordings were played to the group during the day and before bed.
In the mornings the group recorded their dreams, talking in unison. This was then converted to the same sine wave pattern of the tree and played to the tree during the day.
This, together with meditations with the tree, led to a liminal feedback loop between person and plant as an act of social dreaming.
Many residents recorded dreaming with the olive during this time.
This is an ongoing project that Jamie, Jemma and also Camilla French and Juan Cortes will be developing over the coming months.
See the video below by Ventral Is Golden with the olive recording, and a PDF presentation made by Jemma and Jamie to the group at the end of the residency.
