This summer, Melbourne’s ACMI is the hotspot for art enthusiasts. Why? Because it’s hosting a world premiere exhibition, Marshmallow Laser Feast: Works of Nature, from 23 November 2023 to 14 April 2024.

A Global Journey Lands in Melbourne

Hailing from London, the art collective Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) has dazzled audiences worldwide. Their exhibitions have graced venues like Sundance, Tribeca, and London’s V&A. Now, they bring their magic Down Under for the first time.

The Minds Behind the Magic

The exhibition boasts star power. Think narrations by Cate Blanchett and music by Jon Hopkins. Filmmaker Terrence Malick has also jumped on board as an executive producer.

Your Tour Through Nature’s Majesty

What can you expect? The exhibition comprises five major digital artworks.

• Sanctuary of the Unseen Forest: A video installation that sets the stage, presenting an Amazonian kapok tree in an imposing way.
• Evolver: This piece takes you on a journey inside the human body. Bonus: a meditation space featuring Cate Blanchett’s voice.
• Distortions in Spacetime: After Evolver’s calming moments, get ready to zoom through space. Navigate black holes and learn how they’re connected to life itself.
• The Tides Within Us: This work challenges your views on where the human body starts and ends.
• We Live in an Ocean of Air: Wrapping up the exhibit, this piece explores the intricate relationship between plants and people.

More than Just a Visual Treat

MLF isn’t just about the art; they go deeper. Teaming up with ACMI’s curatorial squad, the group delves into ecology, astronomy, and tech to make art that’s not just stunning but also insightful.

A Feast for All Ages

ACMI also has an education program that aligns with the exhibit. School holiday sessions and curriculum-linked visits are on the roster.
