Proust’s Cassette is an immersive audio-visual experience in which dreamcore aesthetics, nostalgia, and ambivalent emotions are intricately intertwined. The recollection of childhood memories is a frequent theme in experiencing nostalgia. Nostalgia is a mix of positive and negative emotions, and dreamcore aesthetics represent a form of digital nostalgia.

This interactive experience explores the capacity of an audio-visual environment to evoke the fleeting nature of childhood memories. Utilising dreamcore aesthetics as a bridge, the project transforms ordinary memories into a surreal, emotionally charged landscape. Through this captivating and introspective approach, individuals are invited to explore the complexities of their past.

Proust's Cassette seamlessly blends the nostalgic charm of old technology with the new. The boundaries between reality and imagination are blurred as the physical cassettes trigger experiences in virtual space. The project offers an opportunity to explore, reflect upon, and celebrate the intricate tapestry of our childhood memories. Participants are invited to embark on a deep, personal, and interactive journey through the hazy corridors of time.
