SLEEP48, 48 hours of sleeping through active sensing, experiencing, 
doing and perceiving.Conceived by Shu Lea Cheang and Matthew Fuller who 
draw inspiration from Fuller's recent book “/How to Sleep, the art, 
biology and culture of unconsciousness”, /SLEEP48 is a STADTWERKSTATT 
production scheduled for STWST48x4, the annual 48 hours extravaganza in 
its 4^th edition, held in association with ARS ELECTRONICA 2018 in Linz.

Sleep is a complex physiological phenomena that changes over its 
duration and that has different cultural and physical expressions.Sleep 
draws out different capacities and aspects of bodies that are expressed 
in rhythms, hormones, variation in electrical activity, changes in the 
activity of organs and body-systems amongst other things.Historically 
and across cultures, sleep has taken different forms in relation to 
light, work, sex, morality, sound, configurations of the body and 
understanding of the human.All of these and other factors can be 
considered as ground for precise, non-spectacular, experiment. 
SLEEP48gathers artists, designers, architects, dancers, musicians, 
poets, critical technologists, performers, scientists and others to 
explore how humans might have an aesthetics without consciousness.

SLEEP48 aims to arrive at: Art for sleepers, art by sleepers and art as 
sleep.


You have all been wonderful.... and see you around... about.... deep and 
meaningful.
