Dream Machines was a performance lecture which took place on swan pedalos at Stratford Olympic Park, 01/09/24. In the lecture, Moss spoke about mechanisms, industrialisation, Dada and automata. To bring visual material into the lecture, she introduced ‘The Hugo Ball’ - a football covered in Dada artworks, and was assisted from the river bank by two current TOMA students (an alternative MA art course in Essex.) The documentation of the lecture will be turned into a new video work, which will be exhibited in Darlington in 2025. The project was supported by The Dover Prize, based in the North-east of England.
