Now or Never x DELIRI

Witness the exterior of State Library Victoria transform for Now or Never, featuring a 10-minute (looped) projection from 5.45pm to 10pm, Thursday 21 August to Sunday 31 August. 

Reality is dissolved through algorithms in this immersive projection by Barcelona-based artistic duo Hamill Industries. Poetic visuals transform the exterior of State Library Victoria into a fluid, hypnotic environment where sound, movement and texture converge. With the help of artificial intelligence, image distortion and flowing reflections captured in-camera, the piece delves into the unknown, deconstructing our understanding of reality. As the installation evolves, it slips seamlessly into a subtle metamorphosis, where what is tangible morphs into algorithmic hallucinations – a dreamlike unravelling of the world as we know it. 

Accompanying this visual experience is music by Desert, whose unique vision of “blue music” blurs the boundaries between sound and image. The piece unfolds with moments of reciprocity where the visuals generate music and the music shapes the visuals, embodying the symbiotic relationship between the two. 

Now or Never is an 11-day festival of new dimensions showcasing art, ideas, sound and technology.

Please note: this installation includes intense bright flashing lights.
