However, in Western concepts, the waking dreams in cities rather manifest a possible future, something that has the potential to become manifest from its yet virtual possibilities. According to Walter Benjamin, the day-dreaming of popular myths discloses potentials of future changes; and following those principles, the Situationists propagated dérive, the aimless strolling in the city as a cure against the false desires of the society of spectacle. <br> <br> The artists in this Urban Research program use vernacular, mundane urban settings and landscapes for their dreaming and imaginative shifts from the ordinary and expected. They must be read as much more than just a happy visual game. Daydreaming and virtual lingering may be part of how we connect with places. </p> </td> <td class="text"><p> </p> </td> </tr> <tr align="left" valign="top"> <td class="text"> <a
