Dreaming Babies: illi
DescriptionDreaming Babies: illi presents 23 speculative human babies, each linked to a different chromosomal variation, sleeping and dreaming in virtual incubators in space. Using AI-generated narratives and interactive sound input, the installation invites audiences to engage with speculative futures of human birth shaped by genetic technology. Inspired by the artist’s experience with PGT, the work questions notions of “normality,” perfection, and genetic selection. Reimagining chromosomal differences not as defects but as poetic identities and superpowers, the project reframes genetic variation as a source of imagination, multiplicity, and beauty.
