In my opinion Modern technology is not used fordreaming as a way to for'see the future. Among my people the Inland Tlingit. Medicine Men utilized the technology of dreaming as a method to deal with expectations of what their lives may become beyond the present. My thesis "Lucinations" uses the software Maya as a generator to relate the predictions of a Medicine Man after he completed a ceremony in the mid 1800-s. He transformed his essence into a fox and searched for a missing person. He did find the person, but when he returned, he saw, through his spiritual eyes, a dark cloud over Teslin. He told the people of Teslin that was trouble coming for the settlement. The image is the installation in a gallery space of faces that are that have bombard the installation. The image is an example of a dream of new people coming to the settlement. The boat is the carrier of the heritage of the Teslin region it is represented as being bombarded by images that over come it, like it is a canvas of ideas. |
