'Daydream'’ is an interactive online video that uses webcam eye-tracking to explore the interplay between the physical and digital worlds through the act of daydreaming.

Blending non-linear narratives, historical and contemporary studies, and experimental scenarios, the work immerses viewers in a personalised experience shaped by their own wandering attention.

This is a personal project supported by the Leverhulme Trust and Arts Council England and developed while artist in residency at The Interactive Architecture Lab at UCL Bartlett, London.
