Taking the photographic image as its starting point, this article examines artworks that exist not through a single medium, but through a complex network of movements, images, resonances, and repetitions, which circulate and multiply, opening up a peculiar chronogeography. Questions of mediality, temporality, and sociotechnical flux, which contribute to turning these artistic propositions into networked entities combining presence and the present (tense), are thus explored and exemplified through the artworks of Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty (1970), Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels (1976), and Andreas Rutkauskas's Virtually There (2009–).

The unprecedented traceability of the social practices is reactivating the divisions that have divided the sciences since the 19th century. The abundance of data and the power of their processing seem to weaken sociology, while physics or computer science actively invest its field of predilection. Social sciences would no longer have the monopoly of the social, whose relations would not be so singular and could be the subject of treatments that have been experienced by the natural sciences. In order to better understand the issues related to the deployment of digital devices in all contemporary practices, we suggest distinguishing the evolution of social relations, the observation of these relations, the production of knowledge and, finally, the production of meaning, as many digital remediations.We would no longer be witnessing a crisis of empirical sociology, but the resurgence of the ideal of social physics, which would oppose the qualities of interpretation to the power of efficiency. Nevertheless, by omitting more than a century of social sciences, this project promoted by the computational social science perpetuates numerous misunderstandings, neglects the reflexivity, and rejects the proper of the human in favor of supposedly universal laws.

This article discusses how I documented my dreams for two months, with the goal of uncovering how dreams are stored in my brain and gaining insight into the unconscious processes that lead to their creation. In exploring the relationship between dreams and art, I sought to understand the creative potential of dream-inspired art. Informed by my exploration I created art inspired by my dreams using Adobe Photoshop and Dall-E, an artificial intelligence tool. By comparing the aesthetic qualities of my digital art with those generated by Dall-E, I share the insights I have gained into the potential for AI in the creative process. This artistic exploration has broader implications for our understanding of the creative process, the role of the unconscious in art, and the relationship between humans and AI. Future research could further explore the potential for dream-inspired art and the role of AI in the creative process.
