dreamedcore, the second exhibition at GOLD by Serakai Studio, presents a multi-sensorial exploration of digital-age nostalgia, bringing together artists, designers, fashion labels, and creative studios from across Asia. Taking on the format of an art exhibition, concept store, and runway show, dreamedcore looks at how a new generation is re-imagining visual culture—conditioned by increasingly fluid channels of production and distribution—and constructing dreamy worlds from internet nostalgia and hazy atmospheric tones.

dreamedcore begins with a feeling: late-night strolling through empty streets, vacant malls, and softly lit corridors that seem both distant and strangely familiar. The exhibition proposes treating the algorithmic aesthetic of “dreamcore” — which draws heavily on visual textures from the 1990s and early 2000s — not simply as style or subculture but as a generational condition. For artists, designers, and creative practitioners born in the 1990s, growing up amid tremendous urban change and now hitting their 30s, such imagery returns as hazy afterimages of an uncanny world, shaped as much by platform circulation and algorithmic repetition as by lived memory itself.

dreamedcore is therefore less about direct recollection than a collectively reconstructed atmosphere, assembled through memory, platforms, and circulating images. Featuring twenty-two emerging multi-disciplinary artists and creative practitioners from Asia, the exhibition maps out how we remember, adapt, and resist within an age of endless imagery and accelerating information. Between digital archaeology and future fantasy, the exhibition traces the emotional pulse of a generation shaped by overload and longing.
