Epistemic Dreaming

Media: Appropriated video game platform

Epistemic Dreaming is an artwork that contemplates the act of dreaming and imagining real world geographies through the use of networked video-games so that the location is disconnected from its everyday situation. How can we help our dreams develop? Is there a pedagogical way that could potentially help our dreams grow? Can dreams and dreaming be a methodology for knowledge? Inspired by these questions, and while wishing to find a way for their child to experience Ramallah, Timo started copying the buildings of the city into the game Minecraft. Inspired further by the use of Minecraft in town planning in the Wadi El Joz Community Garden of East Jerusalem, Timo built a geographical map of the historical Palestine by using Google Terra Data to create an online multiplayer world in Minecraft titled Epistemic Dreaming.
