The Science of Dreaming

For neuroscientist and DUST founder Adam Haar Horowitz, sleep is not only an object of scientific inquiry but also a medium for creativity and discovery. His research focuses on the hypnagogic state—the threshold between wakefulness and sleep—where the mind produces ideas that are associative, fluid, and less constrained by logic. In his lecture, Horowitz will discuss both his research and the tools he has developed to detect and guide this unique state of consciousness.

Lecture & Conversation

Neuroscientist Dr. Adam Haar Horowitz, who has collaborated with artist Nicole L’Huillier for many years, will give a lecture on June 26, 2026, as part of the exhibition Rehearsal Room. Following the lecture, he will speak with Nicole L’Huillier about their collaborative work; the discussion will be moderated by Dr. Christina Landbrecht.

One third of human life is spent asleep. For neuroscientist and DUST founder Adam Haar Horowitz, sleep is not only an object of scientific inquiry but also a medium for creativity and discovery. His research focuses on the hypnagogic state—the threshold between wakefulness and sleep—where the mind produces ideas that are associative, fluid, and less constrained by logic. In his lecture, Horowitz will discuss both his research and the tools he has developed to detect and guide this unique state of consciousness.

Before and after the lecture, you will have the chance to explore the exhibition by Nicole L'Huillier. The title of the exhibition "Rehearsal Room" refers both to a space for practice and to a particular kind of acoustic environment. Using sound, artificial intelligence, and voices, L’Huillier transforms the exhibition space into an experimental zone. Upon entering, visitors are invited to collectively tune into the realm of dreams – as a form of another reality
