Now Are You Sound Asleep? explores the hypnotic rhythms of contemporary screen life compared to driving. In the installation, AI-generated highway videosvideo’s created by a model trained on datasets of dashcam footage and trips around Nürnberg are swiped along two eye-likeeyelike smartphones by two metronomes as windscreen wipers. Recording time passed between memory and recording and distances traversed or not.

The work reflects on the bodily habits formed by endless scrolling. Before boredom even registers, the hand already reaches for the phone; the arm becomes a metronome keeping time with the steady pulse of the feed. Highways without exits mirror the logic of infinite digital circulation, where movement continues without a destination. Seated within the installation, the viewer enters this loop of repetition and drift, where attention softens and the boundary between alertness and sleep begins to blur.
