Quantum Dreamweaver and the Boundless Odyssey of Synaptic Transmutation („QDAT-BOOST”) is an episodic, immersive odyssey—an elevated fusion of film, animation, augmented reality, poetry, sculpture, and AI.
Set in the near future, it follows Rain, a non-binary researcher, writer, and experiential designer, as they construct an organic processing unit aimed at expanding their consciousness and establishing connections with sentient entities. On this path to harnessing newfound powers, Rain encounters deities—mystical oracles offering wisdom from the spaces in between.
Viewers are granted a glimpse into Rain’s surreal memories, within the simulacrum of cognitive systems—a dream engine—where they embark on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, transformation, and profound connection with their own body and surroundings.
This story explores the expansion of identity, the reimagining of belonging, networked consciousness, self-expression, and the search for safe space within global chaos. Through an intuitive blend of live-action and immersive media, PXKRW creates a new universe.
