The future is human.

PSY FI — Celebrating future-focused artists—music, visual, writing—on Saturday May 09 at Massey University’s Great Hall in Pōneke Wellington.

Starting with a book launch for Lee Hana’s mind-melting postpunk collection ‘Descendants’, before the quantum harmonics of Erika Grant and Tondo’s shimmering guitar overwhelm. There will be sublime alien warmth from Dream Chambers, and The Golden Awesome’s deepspace gaze, before BIRDPARTY’s industrial dancefloor workout prepares everyone for the return of the original quiet mind: techno legend Micronism, returning from Australia for this rare performance. Charmort takes us out with his trailbazing electronics.
