This event is part of the 2026 Now Or Never Festival.
A night of improvised sonic chaos at this free exhibition and late night party.
The EMERGENCE[Y] exhibition becomes a playful celebration of making something brilliant out of what’s been left behind at Science Gallery Melbourne.
Local artist Dylan Martorell brings the gallery to life with interactive sound sculptures made from upcycled objects and robotics built to be played, hacked, and experimented with. Live improvised musical sets by Dylan with Genevieve Fry and Tarquin Manek turn trash into rhythm, noise, and collective play. Throughout the gallery, encounter roving performances of ‘skyward dreaming’ by VCA choreographer Carlie Shaw and live set by DJ Luv You.
Wander the exhibition as science collides with creative resilience. Think sonic chaos, creative energy, and a gallery that doesn’t behave like a gallery at all.
Science Gallery Melbourne’s Friday Night Socials are free parties where you can explore the latest exhibition against a backdrop of immersive performance acts and live DJ sets. Food and drinks are available for purchase.
The new exhibition EMERGENCE[Y] explores adaptation, innovation and resilience in a rapidly changing world. Visit on Saturday 29 August, 11am – 5pm for another chance to interact with Dylan Martorell’s installation – extended for Now or Never.
