Subconscious and use of AI help inspire creative process that sparks reflection on human experience, Yang Feiyue reports.
The Dream series utilizes innovative technology in its creations.
"I need to spend a significant amount of time engaging in dialogue with artificial intelligence, just like I do with my assistant," he says.

The longest work of his Dream series features a vintage car wrapped by an octopus. "I selected it from numerous options, considering everything from the color of the car to the tentacles of the octopus. It is a dream of sleep paralysis enveloping you in a certain way," he says. "However, I approached it with a positive concept for the transformation of what might be considered a nightmare, all the while ensuring it stays dreamlike in a good way."
