When T-Rex Dreams of Mangoes and Figs

Summary

Inspired by the Google Chrome Dino game that appears only when internet connection is interrupted, this installation explores where consciousness wanders when the machine is in ‘load state’.

Created by artists Chris Tegho and Jazmin Morris, this work reflects on how we process uncertainty, meaning and our relationship with machines. It creates an opportunity for dreams, imagination and creativity in a subtle protest against technology’s grasp on our experiences.

This prototype project was developed in collaboration with University of Oxford academics Shirely Leung and Dr Matthew Parrot.

Jazmin and Chris are a duo of artists and researchers based in the UK. Their work spans ethical, emotional, and relational aspects of technology, exploring systems of power and community facilitation. Jazmin’s practice interrogates the historical trajectories of modern technology and critically addresses the nuanced process of simulating culture and identity. Chris’ work examines how emerging technologies influence our experiences and self-perception. Together, they are dedicated to

reimagining traditional narratives in their disciplines, through an open-source, queer BIPOC lens.
