Chan’s work, titled HalfDream (2021), is a participatory art project conducted on a dedicated artificial intelligence platform (halfdream.org) that connects participants via their subconscious and common dreams. The artist born in Hong Kong investigates personal perception, materiality and “daily details that are often overlooked” through her practice, believing that something within the subconscious can help us see and remember the ways we are similar, when external and political forces seem intent on manifesting division.
