FUTUR.SHOCK X IVY LAB 

Following on from the psychologically and politically charged themes of last season, season four will explore themes of transgression, intimacy, otherness, and transhuman notions of metamorphosis. “This one is for those who dare to think differently.”. 

In a world full of political and social conflict chapter four serves as an immersive, visceral and metaphorical expression that transcends the constraints of socially constructed notions of normalcy. 

We kick off this brand new season with the world premiere of Ivy Lab’s emotionally charged new venture into the visual arts. Infinite Falling Ground Pt.2’, explores downtempo trip-hop, punkish rap beats, and menacing sound design. Conceived as a short film, the narrative continues the relationship between characters Emma and Charlie from Infinite Falling Ground, this time focused on the theme of fatherhood. With the project as much about film as it is music, the accompanying visual production created by LA-based artist Lake Hills follows on from 2022’s ‘Infinite Falling Ground’. 

Accomplices on the evening include celebrated textural synthesist Nexciya who’ll be showcasing his own audio-visual experience; Australian producer The Mutant Joe known best for his gritty alt-rap beats / punkish IDM experiments; and closing out the evening with a post-screening DJ set, and ever-evolving veteran of electronic-hiphop abstractions Ganz flying in from Amsterdam.
