The Drive

The video presents panoramic view recorded in a static frame through the window during bus drive from Zagreb to Osijek. During the drive the words taken from the 2002 online work The Dream Net appear and disappear on the window glass. The Dream Net was an interconnected labyrinthlike structure made of 30 dreams I dreamt and wrote down from 1991 onwards.

Hypertext marking the key words enable navigation by keypress through the net, linking one dream to the other. These words are: water, mother, to get down, to solve a problem, coal, snow…. In The Drive thesewords appear and disappear on the snowy bus window as on a membrane between physical movements through the real space-time and parallel symbolic movements within psychological space of dreams.
