“Techno Dreams” navigates the fluid boundaries between speculative sci-fi and the heavy residue of history, presenting examples of Technocriticism as well as Southeast Asian Tropical Futurism that challenge the linearity of progress. Here, the screen functions as both mirror and mirage; the works interrogate how the technologies of image-making construct our perception of reality, often obscuring the marginalized histories they claim to document. By weaving together myth, digital glitch, and archival memory, the program confronts the alienation of the algorithmic age and the "objective truths" of neo-colonial systems, asking whether the very images that imprison us might also hold the keys to our liberation.
The films traverse a landscape where the ancient and the hyper-modern collide. Andrew Thomas Huang and Thaweechok Phasom reclaim the transformative power of myth, using folklore to navigate the displacement of the body and the soul. This resistance echoes in the works of Teo Wey Yinn and Lin Htet Aung, who excavate the scars of colonialism and military dictatorship, revealing the endurance of culture against erasure. Finally, the friction between nature and capital explodes in the narratives of Yihan Lin and Naween Noppakun, where the glitching cityscapes of the future and the vanished illusions of the fashion world expose the fragility of our constructed realities.

「Techno Dreams」遊走於推想式科幻與沉重歷史殘留之間的流動邊界，實質地呈現了挑戰線性進步觀的科技批判主義與東南亞熱帶未來主義。在此，螢幕既是鏡像也是蜃樓；這些作品質問影像製造技術如何建構我們對現實的感知，並揭示其往往遮蔽了它們聲稱要記錄的邊緣歷史。透過編織神話、數位故障（glitch）與檔案記憶，本單元直面演算法時代的異化感以及新殖民體系下的「客觀真理」，探問那些囚禁我們的影像，是否也可能握有解放我們的鑰匙。
這些影片穿越了一片古老與超現代相互衝撞的地景。Andrew Thomas Huang與Thaweechok Phasom重拾神話的轉化力量，運用民俗傳說來導航身與靈的流離。這種抵抗在張蔚韻與Lin Htet Aung的作品中產生迴響，他們挖掘殖民主義與軍事獨裁留下的傷痕，展現文化對抗抹除的韌性。最終，自然與資本之間的摩擦在Yihan Lin與 Naween Noppakun的敘事中爆發，在未來的故障城市景觀與時尚界消逝的幻象中，揭露了我們所建構之現實的脆弱性。
