Where Technology Breathes With Nature
Unfolding within Jubilee Hall, Biomass transforms the space into a living, breathing gallery of virtual reality, interactive installations, and extended reality artworks. This is your opportunity to experience ground-breaking works from artists across the globe.
Discover captivating works by visionary artists including Singing Chen, Ben J Andrews, Van Sowerwine, and Isobel Knowles. And for the very first time in Western Australia, immerse yourself in the extraordinary creations of Marshmallow Laser Feast (MLF) - a global leader in immersive digital art known for transforming the invisible forces of nature into breathtaking sensory encounters.
Biomass takes you deep into the dynamic relationship between organic life, energy flow, and environmental change. Through immersive storytelling and sensory design, the exhibition invites you on a powerful sensory journey through the ever-shifting interplay of life, energy, and environment in an age of ecological and social reckoning.
Through extended reality experiences, you’ll explore the resilience of human and non-human systems and confront the emotional, physical, and environmental questions shaping our shared future. This is more than an exhibition - it’s a meditation, a call to action, and an artistic response to the complexity, fragility, and diversity of life on Earth.
