A dance party from the future.
Witness one of the world's leading audio-visual artists as the centrepiece of an epic warehouse party crossing house, techno, drum & bass and immersive projections.
Max Cooper has carved a unique space as an audio-visual artist. He wrote a PhD on how computers represent genomes, making his electronic productions incredibly detailed and compelling. Canberra is being graced with a 4 hour set – mostly live – with multi-layered central and peripheral projections. There’s not much like this on the planet.
His work carries an emotional resonance and sensory immersion, often focusing on humanity’s place in the world. He merges electronic music and visual art with scientific enquiry through installations, live performance, immersive audio-visual experiences, a range of digital media and award-winning music videos.
Cooper’s impressive discography dates back to 2007, when he juggled studying Computational Biology with being resident DJ at a local techno club.
He became the first techno artist to perform at the Acropolis in Athens, scored a powerful video narrated by Greta Thunberg and Pope Francis urging world leaders to consider climate and environment, has received commissions and collaborations with The Barbican, Zaha Hadid Architects, France TV, AND&, The Babraham Institute, L-Acoustics and reworked musicians including Philip Glass, Nils Frahm, Terry Riley, Michael Nyman, Hot Chip and Moby.
He established Mesh in 2016 to explore the intersection of music, art and science through interdisciplinary creative collaborations that incorporate a variety of digital media including AR, AI, VR, NFT, spatial audio and Dolby Atmos, as well as physical structures and live experiences.
