XYZZY is a 40 minute fulldome cinematic experience by artists Jess Johnson and Simon Ward.
Designed for planetariums, XYZZY will lead you on a psychedelic musical odyssey through the complex fictional world the artists have been evolving over a decade-long collaborative practice.
Video director Simon Ward created XYZZY by translating Jess’s hand-drawn compositions into animated webs of flesh mandalas, self-replicating architecture, undulating worms, hallucinogenic pattern, and messianic alien deities. The dynamic visual atmosphere is charged with 90s-inspired electronic synthesiser soundtrack from musicians Andrew Clarke, Luke Rowell, Stef Animal and Lachlan Anderson.
Commissioned by Tūhura Otago Museum and Melbourne City Council’s Now or Never Festival
Recommended ages 14+, parental supervision required.
This show features strobing effects - some visitors may experience mild motion sickness.
