SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed
SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed

Opens 3 Aug 2024

 

SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed presented at Science Gallery Melbourne is a co-production developed in collaboration between ArtScience Museum and Science Gallery Melbourne. The original version New Eden: Science Fiction Mythologies Transformed was developed and first exhibited at ArtScience Museum in Singapore (21 Oct 2023 – 3 Mar 2024).

 

Showing in Australia for the first time, SCI-FI: Mythologies Transformed offers fresh insights on science fiction. The lines connecting science fiction with ancient philosophy and mythologies are brought to light by the work of Asian and First Nations women artists and collectives calling for a more inclusive future.

Film Screenings

In Search of Tomorrow

From 16 Oct
ArtScience Cinema, Level 4
Mix of free and ticketed admission with online pre-booking

 

Spaceships, aliens, floating cities and red dusty planets - in the shiny and bold world of science-fiction, humanity's aesthetic of the future has always been shaped by our fear of the unknown, and our unshakable desire to peek behind the curtain.

 

In Search of Tomorrow celebrates visions of the future with a lineup of kitsch b-movies, beloved cult classics, and contemporary arthouse films that depict the utopian and dystopian fantasies of what life could be like, on Earth or elsewhere. Films include Andrei Tarkovsky’s seminal Solaris (1972), iconic android cartoon Astro Boy (1980), and Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s hallucinatory Memoria (2021), starring Tilda Swinton.
