Screen capture Sleep On It

Sleep On It was the first digital commission for the Screen at the entrance of Nieuwe Instituut. Sleep On It (2023) "is a deconstructed video game that explores the realm of daydreaming as a space of togetherness for Black and Brown people". It promotes rest as a form of resistance against the pressure of a patriarchal capitalist society that demands constant productivity. The game, made by -1 artist in residence Sondi, defies conventional gaming norms by dispensing with the distinctions between beginnings, endings, and notions of winning or losing.
