maxmachina 2025/26

MAXmachina is a lab where storytellers, artists, scientists, and creative technologists expand live performance, creating work that uses science and technology to explore the promise and peril of our rapidly changing world. Projects include music, dance, experimental and immersive performance.

Media Art Xploration is inviting proposals for our 2025/26 MAXmachina laboratory program for works in dance, theater, music, experimental performance, as well as immersive pieces incorporating live activation. Past works have included interactive installations, mixed reality performance, art works implementing scientific research, and more analogue pieces interrogating the promise and peril of our increasingly technologized world.
