“Somniloquy (Sleep Talking)” is Park’s ongoing PhD research on human and machine dreaming, exploring the unconscious aspects like dreams, unlike traditional AI research that focuses on consciousness. He aims to recreate his dreams using AI text and image recognition algorithms. Park has recorded 100 of his dreams and collected around 10,000 cell phone photos over the years. He conducts studies to match his past visual experiences with content from his dreams.
