As part of Ovation\u2019s internal go-see-art initiative, which covers admission fees to art exhibits and performances for employees, Danielle visited the Dream Machine in Brooklyn and wrote about her experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On a recent steamy summer afternoon, I attended an interactive, pop-up art exhibit in an empty warehouse in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This exhibit, known as the Dream Machine<\/a>, was created to be an artist\u2019s representation of people\u2019s dreams. It has also been touted by many as a \u201cselfie-takers\u2019 paradise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Selfies often get a bad rap and are associated with vanity. \u201cVem\u00f6dalen\u201d means \u201cthe frustration of photographing something amazing when thousands of identical photos already exist.\u201d Yet humans have had an urge to add uniqueness and set their photo apart from another. It is only natural for people to want to capture their existence to leave a mark on the world. For this reason, selfies have become an art form onto themselves. The Dream Machine space only encouraged selfie-taking.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
