Before Nightfall

Immersive Digital Worlds And Live Performances

Melbourne Design Week 2025 MISCELLANIA

Before Nighfall is a one-night interdisciplinary event exploring the intersection of humanity, technology, and ecology through speculative film, music, architecture, digital art, and performance. This immersive experience invites audiences
to reflect on how design can cultivate deeper connections between people, technology, and the natural world while
envisioning new possibilities for coexistence. Featuring performance art, audiovisual installations, digital
films, experimental music, and 3D-printed sculptures, Before Nightfall offers a multi-sensory journey that dissolves the
boundaries between the physical and virtual. Through works by local and international artists and designers, the event
presents diverse perspectives on sustainability, creativity, and their ever-evolving interconnections.
