Creative Time: Kite & Alisha B. Wormsley

Cosmologyscape is a public art project by Indigenous artist Kite and Black artist Alisha B. Wormsley, commissioned by Creative Time. This project invites participants to contribute to a cosmic quilt of collective dreams. Each dream shared through Cosmologyscape is transformed into a unique pattern generated from 26 custom Black and Lakota symbols designed by the artists.

Dream Technology

Schoooool provided the design and engineering expertise to build a digital platform where these patterns come to life, forming an ever-expanding quilt that reflects both individual and communal experiences. The more dreams that are shared, the richer the quilt becomes, fostering a space that holds the known alongside the unknown. This fall, the collective dreams gathered will culminate in a series of sculptures, revealing our shared narratives in tangible form. AI tools were used in the creating and exploring of this project.


I designed a distinctive typeface, Cosmologyscape, featuring three weights: Normal for readability, Dream for display, and Ingredients, a set of glyphs representing the project's dream herbs. We embraced the hallucination-like aesthetic of AI-generated videos by Runway ML, characterized by the machine’s interpolation process, where it appears to "dream" by making educated guesses.
