Many works in the program employed parallel automatic processes, in exchange to some of the artists' direct agency. Alexandros Pissourios employed the time-lapse and the sound-trap phone application to allow a series of automatic documentations to occur. His materials were the reflected light of the moon, and the oneiric slips of his subconscious; both dark by themselves, never fully known, only fragments of them revealed via other sources: light and speech. The piece built a tension between the seductive movement of the moon across the sky and the uncanny intimacy that comes when in proximity to the subconscious of someone asleep.
