👁 HYPNOS 🌙 is an interactive meta-media sculpture centred on a bronze bust of HYPNOS, the ancient Greek god of sleep.
The god gazes across a void, toward a glowing tech stack — complete with CRT monitor, laser beams!, webcam + more.
The entire body of HYPNOS — the sculpture, machines, and all supporting gear — is included in the sale.
Everything fits into two custom-built crates, which may be stored either by myself or by the collector, ready to be deployed anytime ...

OVERVIEW -
︎ AWAKE ︎
A loud hand-clap or sudden movement awakens HYPNOS — its laser-drawn eyes fixed on the CRT ahead as it loops through thousands of iconic animated gifs.
︎ ASLEEP ︎
Left undisturbed, HYPNOS drifts back to sleep — its eyes shift into crescent moons, as the CRT transitions to a live feed of the sculpture quietly watching, and dreaming, of itself.
