ITS Contest 2014

Concept

Lucid Dreams

ITS 2014 will transport you into the world of LUCID DREAMS, balanced between dream and awareness. Prepare to learn how to fly, confront your fears, or even encounter yourself. The only thing to be careful about is not waking up. Initially used in a scientific context by psychiatrists and psychologists, and later spread among creatives, oneironautics enables the voluntary exploration of dreams and their conscious modification at will. ITS adopts it as the communication concept of this edition, inviting everyone to navigate their own dreamlike imagination, overcome fears, and affirm their will.
