On May 23rd 2025, I started recording and turning my sleep data into dreamscapes.
Each image is a small translation of one night: a private biometric signal turned into
shape, color, material, and atmosphere. The gallery keeps the sleep score visible, while
the more intimate measurements stay abstracted inside the artwork.
Sleep readiness, total sleep, deep sleep, REM (Rapid Eye Movement), and HRV (Heart Rate Variability) then shape the composition: amount (1 to 5), scale, clustering,
rotation, and how the primitives float. The material (ceramic with marble strikes, glossy metal with oxidation, wood with
moss and flowers, translucent and textured polymer, or glass with a particle swarm) is chosen by date, so the same
biometrics on a different night would still feel like a different piece.
Why
This digital gallery was made exactly a year after the start of the project, in memory of my mother, Nathalie Déglas (1964-2026), an art teacher who loved color, geometry, and experiment,
and in support of those still living with diabetes, including my mother-in-law. A portion
of any tips goes to diabetes research.
Some weeks are missing. That's part of the year too.
If this resonates and you'd like to support the work, a small tip helps me keep building.
