Artificial Wild Dream is a 2024 audiovisual AI art film by Ronen Tanchum. This microsite presents an interactive WebGL experience built around the trailer: the viewer can touch, drag, and disturb the moving image as if it were a liquid surface. The project explores machine dreams, synthetic nature, memory, creation, perception, and digital ecology.

Access word: DAYDREAM. Visitors type DAYDREAM on the intro screen and press Start to enter the experience.

## Project summary

Artificial Wild Dream treats moving image as a field of unstable emergence. It combines audiovisual structure with AI-generated transformations and digital ecology. The work is both an AI art film and a browser-based interactive experience, positioning the moving image as something alive, responsive, and dreamlike.

As an art film, it explores the boundaries of memory, creation, and perception. As an interactive site, it lets visitors disturb the image through ripples, refraction, webcam-driven movement, and video-motion feedback.
