Austin Peay to unveil \u201cDream Garden,\u201d an augmented reality interactive installation installed in the new Arts Quad behind the new Art + Design building.<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The intent of the project is to gather, graft and nurture a city\u2019s dreams. Each time a city dweller texts a 7-word dream (a poetic form moving private experience into public space), that dream automatically joins others both in a \u201cgarden\u201d (APSU\u2019s Arts Quad) and online at www.inthedreamgarden.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The project shows how some community resources \u2013 like citizens\u2019 dreams \u2013 can inhabit and expand a space without wounding it, colonizing it or wasting natural resources. As a political space, it is urban renewal and greening without displacement. As a philosophical space, it suggests that dreaming together may change a city and even a country.<\/p>\n

As a community garden, it suggests that dreams aren\u2019t wasted \u2013 they are growable, transplantable and in the poetic space of the project, both virtual and real.<\/p>\n

Two of the collaborators, Witek and Roberts, will be on campus at 7:00pm on September 7th to unveil \u201cDream Garden\u201d during Clarksville\u2019s First Thursday Art Crawl. Prior to the unveiling, Witek will perform an interactive poetry reading based on her newest book, \u201cBody Switch,\u201d beginning at 5:00pm in room 120 of the Art + Design building. At 6:00pm, Roberts will give an artist talk in room 120, discussing his new media projects and the collaborative process behind \u201cDream Garden.\u201d<\/p>\n

This project uses Layar, a free augmented reality application for mobile devices. Participants can download the Layar app and see their texted dream joined with others in site-specific locations. The international project is designed to adapt to any urban space.<\/p>\n

All events for the Department of Art + Design are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
