Dreamy Place returns to Brighton this October with three days of art, creative technology and moving image, transforming galleries, streets and public spaces across the city.
This year, Dreamy Place turns its attention to nature and our changing relationship with the natural world. The programme brings together artists who are collaborating with scientists, ecologists and environmental professionals, using creative technologies in surprising ways to explore the environments around us – from the ground beneath our feet and the sounds of birds and wildlife, to the stars and the wider cosmos.
Across the festival, artists ask what technology might help us notice, understand and experience differently at a time of profound environmental change. Through light, sound, film, photography, dance, virtual reality and interactive technologies, their work explores ecological systems, climate change and the impact humans are having on the planet, while also creating opportunities to pause, listen, play and reconnect with the natural world.
The programme includes exhibitions, screenings, workshops and events from artists and partners across Brighton and beyond, creating different ways to encounter the festival – whether you want to spend an afternoon exploring, join a conversation, experience an immersive artwork, or simply stumble across something unexpected in the city.
Dreamy Place is designed for curious minds of all ages, with many events free or low-cost. The festival invites us to look again at the world around us: to consider how art and technology can help us understand nature, the changes taking place within it, and our own place within interconnected living systems.
Launched in 2023 and building on the legacy of Brighton Digital Festival, Dreamy Place creates accessible and inclusive opportunities to experience contemporary art, creative technology and moving image. It brings together artists and audiences from Brighton and the surrounding region with national and international artists and collaborators.
Dreamy Place is programmed and produced by artists’ film and digital culture agency videoclub, working with arts, culture, technology, community and environmental partners.
