Focusing on the world's cutting-edge sound art, the exhibition gathers nearly 30 pieces/groups of important new media collections at the Centre Pompidou, through classic works in the history of sound art and the latest vigorous experiments, to explain in depth how "sound", a medium that is not yet well known to the public, can inspire new artistic creations, and open up a unique journey of "unheard" deep consciousness for the audience with "sound" that runs through the whole field inside and outside the West Bund Museum.

"Lucid Dreaming: A Journey of Sound" encompasses a wide range of intersecting media, from sound sculpture to musical environments, from audiovisual experiments to vocal acts, with themes running through the narrative. Artists of different origins, generations and aesthetics have come together to compose an acoustic journey, including international pioneers of contemporary art: Francis Alÿs, Susan Philipsz, Bill Fontana and many more.

With the development of the times and technology, the exploration of sound art is becoming more and more diversified. In addition to the classics of art history, the exhibition is also at the forefront of AI technology, with artists Holly Herndon and Mat Dryhurst using AI-generated images and audio to reinterpret their memories and experiences to create a dreamlike picture.
