Taking a nap is known to refresh the tired mind and improve productivity and insight. On the other hand, it is a time to escape reality in the name of laziness or rest. For this biennale, seendosi produces an instrument to experience rest, even to sleep during the day. This instrument functions as a cradle for adults within a designated space, calming and soothing the tired bodies and minds of the audience. Snooze Express was designed based on the structure of a toy-like “vehicle,” but combining it with diverse audiovisual devices, created through collaborations with other practitioners, can remodel its form; sound emerges as a “lullaby” and graphic images revolve, mimicking a “mobile.” In its physical space, the seendosi team has operated a “space” that functions as a platform and a workstation for a variety of collaborative projects full of potentiality. In the extended context, Snooze Express, a temporary instrument, demonstrates another framework for a collaboration project, focusing on the meanings of “individual” and “instrument.”
