Woman using binculars Rebecca Moss Dover Prize

Dream Machines was a performance lecture by Rebecca Moss, the winner of The Dover Prize 2023. Dream Machines which took place on swan-shaped pedalos at Stratford Olympic Park, London on 1 September 2024.

In the lecture, Rebecca 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 students of The Other MA (TOMA, 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 for The Dover Prize exhibition in 2025.
