“Am I dreaming or hallucinating ?”

In a sport where everything relies on precision and performance, OOPS DREAMS diverts the perfect gesture — that of the player — and entrusts it to a generative artificial intelligence. Mastery is no longer what matters, but the hallucination of an autonomous machine.
It becomes an artwork.

The imagined trajectory of the ball becomes the real trajectory of a prompt, and the machine, endlessly replaying, drifts away from reality. Is the machine dreaming, or hallucinating?

A basketball-hoop structure that hosts three main elements :
- a screen that narrates a dream in the form of text — i.e. , the initial gesture
- screens displaying the generated images — i.e. , the machine’s hallucinations
- a suspended cable net, symbolizing the space where gesture and hallucination meet

With each iteration, and over the course of five days, the AI replays and produces a different generation. The artwork does not seek the singular perfection of the gesture, but the beauty of randomness accumulating over time — the beaut y of hallucination.
