Friday Night Social: Wild Circuits

This is an invitation to rethink what we throw away. For Now or Never, EMERGENCE[Y] becomes a playful celebration of making something brilliant out of what’s been left behind.
28/08/2026 6:00pm 9:00pm

Science Gallery Melbourne, Ground Level

Local artist Dylan Martorell brings the gallery to life with interactive sound sculptures made from upcycled objects and robotics – built to be played, hacked, and experimented with. Throughout the night, live performances and improvised sets by Dylan with Genevieve Fry and Tarquin Manek turn junk into rhythm, noise and collective play.

Wander the Science Gallery Melbourne exhibition as science collides with creative resilience – with roving performance of ‘skyward dreaming’ by VCA choreographer Carlie Shaw and live DJ set by DJ Luv You keeping the energy high.

Join us for a night that turns leftovers, offcuts and odd bits into something worth celebrating. Think sonic chaos, creative energy and a gallery that doesn’t behave like a gallery at all.

Presented in partnership with Now or Never.
