The Dream Of The Machine


Video essay by Noviki engages with the concept of latent space in machine learning, where generative models explore hidden structures and relationships within data. By simulating processes loosely comparable to human subconscious activity, it raises questions about whether algorithmic systems can exhibit creativity or intuition—not as literal dreaming, but as probabilistic computation that yields unexpected aesthetic outcomes.


Noviki is a collective working at the intersection of visual culture, speculative technology, and digital aesthetics. Their project merges AI with ecological thought, creating hybrid worlds where algorithms “dream” in organic forms. Their multi-screen, 3D installations address critical issues while delivering a strong sensory impact. Their works have been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art Warsaw, the Krupa Foundation, and the Frankfurt Kunstverein, among others.

Dream of the Machine” was created as part of the BMW Art Club project. The Future is Art 2024 in cooperation with the Juliusz Słowacki Theater in Krakow.
