Now or Never presents: September Friday Night Social

  • Science Gallery Melbourne The University of Melbourne Parkville, VIC, 3010 Australia (map)

Prepare for an interstellar odyssey with our first Friday Night Social of the DARK MATTERS season.

Explore the cosmos through captivating live music and mesmerising performance art. This Friday Night Social includes live entertainment from DJ Kalyani, a dance performance from Bendy Ben, installations from the University of Melbourne’s animation student cohort, a performance from Abby Sundborn, in collaboration with Liquid Architecture, and a ‘Mystery Box’ illusionist act from DARK MATTERS artists Lawrence Leung, Dom Chambers and Vyom Sharma.

Join self-confessed science nerds and art lovers alike as we try something new, make friends and ask the big questions.


DARK MATTERS is an exhibition created in collaboration with Arts at CERN and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics exploring the fundamental essence of life and the universe, and how so much of it remains a mystery to us. Dive into the unseen, the unknown and the unspoken – will we ever fully understand the invisible forces at play in our own lives?

NOW OR NEVER FESTIVAL features over 300 Australian and international sonic and visual artists, creators and composers, becoming Naarm/Melbourne’s newest large-scale festival celebrating digital art and future thinking.

LIQUID ARCHITECTURE is a Naarm (Melbourne) based organisation supporting experimental, interdisciplinary, and critical work addressing sound and listening in context.
