A recent project about escapism through dreaming. Free association and exploring dream content to find inner truth was Freud wading through the mind. My Freudbot wades through internet datasets and constructs a new dreamscape from your dream. I wanted to realise a new Eliza or parallel the complexity of the mind to the internet, perhaps make some sense of new ontological theories about the interconnectedness of all objects... but I just ended up hating Freud and Google. Try the bot here(If Google permits). Freudbot.

The evolution of the Victorian boating pond moved through several stages, including a drinking water resovoir in WW2, adapting and weathering. The cone marks the centre drain, which has been blocked for as long as the garden team can remember. The goal posts were placed here during the 70s after the pool had been dry for 20 years. "Bapuba" writes on the goal posts, marking them in green permanently. The run off from the hill has filled the middle of the pitch with mud making it hard to play football. An unused space, apart from the multiple diy Google street view instances of the same child running round and round. Our interventions in the space, such as to refill the pitch and play pond football in little boats, among other plans, were postponed due to covid.
