Dream Logic is a community of artists, technologists, designers, experimenters, and entrepreneurs. We believe the role of the artist in the tech age remains unchanged: artists are guides to the unknown.

In partnership with Bay Area cultural institutions and museums, we build immersive art experiences that bring artists + technologists together to explore new ways of seeing.

Services + offerings:

• Curation: new media art, installation & interactive art, AR/VR art, sound

• Immersive experience design

• Interior design + installation

• Event Logistics + Management

• Sourcing and oversight of contractors, build-outs, installs

• Installation 

What does our name mean?

Dreams operate via a curious logic...

The vast cognitive network that governs the dreaming mind is deeper and wider than that which promotes conscious sense-making. Rationality is suspended in dream states, which is why in dreams we can swim through the air or walk through walls. Dreams are the land of inventions, visions, and nightmares.

Because virtual experiences do not abide by the logic of physical laws, they support a remarkably similar hyper-associative, instinctive, self-aware cognitive state as dreams.

We explore these territories using art as a guide. As poets, mystics, scientists, and inventors will will tell you... strange and wondrous things come to life in the borderlands of dreams.

TEAM

>> Curator + creative producer Lindsay Saunders is a self-described tech / art nerd. She curated her first AR art show in Brooklyn with artist Lauren Shaw in 2012, wrote a thesis on AR and marketing in 2014, and produced a VR / live theater play at the Hollywood Fringe Fest in 2015.  She is a Senior Program Manager on Mozilla's Open Innovation team. And, now that she teaches Project Management at NYU, she is officially a wizard.  

>> Artist + creative producer Kelly Sinclair Vicars has a hard time saying no to absurdly large art projects, anything resembling a black holes, and sourcing “underworld materials,” from, well, trash cans. Working across disciplines and often in collaboration, her inter-disciplinary works explore listening, collective dreaming, perception and inner / outer landscape. "Dream Logic" came from a list of fake band names she keeps on her iPhone, and ‘The Art of Dying’ show was inspired by a weird dream she had starring Sean! She has shared collaborative projects at Burning Man, and is a founding board member of the Immersive Arts Alliance. Her words to live by: never leave home without a headlamp. 

>> Technical director Sean Kennedy’s background in psychology makes him good at skillfully implementing weird new tech in human-friendly ways. His superpowers include: working with imperfect interfaces, undocumented methodologies and untested code;  implementing online marketing strategies and providing elite tech support to clients; and re-assuring people that everything will be okay. Sean loves doing house calls for technological art projects involving VR, projection mapping, and emerging tech. He is an avid writer of poetry, short stories, and travel journals and just completed his first sci-fi novel. He roams the desert (in between grilled cheeses) helping distressed participants at Burning Man find solutions, and/or themselves.

>> Designer Liisa Laukkanen applies her talents as an interior designer and architect to dream up immersive environments for Dream Logic shows. She founded F2 Design in San Francisco in 2011, and between installs can be found jet setting at the drop of a hat to anywhere she hasn’t been yet, or cross-country skiing through her native Finland. (She can attest that Fins DO rake their forests.) Her favorite color is pink. Her most recent motto: always carry a tape measure.
