About this event

As part of DCU's Culture Night celebrations, we invite staff members and students to The Stokes Building DCU Glasnevin Campus to enjoy a screening of the work of Insight's artist in residence Ann Maria Healy. Hypnagogia is a common dream where various states of wakefulness intertwine into a surreal narrative and screens flatten reality into an ever erupting collage. The pineal gland is a site of melatonin production, a hormone that regulates our sleep wake cycle, when this is off kilter, heightened sensations recall past and future traumas. The protagonist of Ann Maria Healy’s new film, a Self-driving car, has forgotten its destination but through various breathing exercises is finally finding its way home. In this landscape, spiritual awakenings abound but perhaps we are inside the ultimate trance machine, one that we are perpetually awaiting release from. As part of her research for this exhibition, Ann Maria undertook a three month residency at The Insight SFI Research Centre for Data Analytics alongside post doctorate researchers looking at neuro feedback therapy. The video work on show as part of Culture night is entitled "My dreams won't resist".
