“Dream on Me” is a participatory art project developed as a visual exploration of the TEDx conference in New York in 2014. The project included eight yoga mats installed on the floors in the hallways of the event, on which the public was invited to dream. Underneath each mat were 2 layers of canvas: one blank and the other covered with blue oil pigments. The four canvases on display were placed under the yoga mats and recorded footprints, handprints and body prints of the event participants, creating abstracts landscapes.
