★★★★★ "a dizzying journey where the end is thrilling but unpredictable." Arts Hub

'XYZZY' is an immersive, fulldome cinematic experience by artists Jess Johnson & Simon Ward. Prepare to embark on a psychedelic musical odyssey through the complex fictional world the artists have been evolving over a decade-long collaborative practice.

Everything you see is drawn by Jess's hand, depicting an ever-evolving fictional world that melds alien architecture, technology and flesh. Animated webs of flesh mandalas, self-replicating architecture, undulating worms, hallucinogenic patterns, and messianic alien deities create a dynamic visual atmosphere that is charged with 90s-inspired electronic synthesizer tracks from musicians Andrew Clarke, Luke Rowell, Stef Animal and Lachlan Anderson.
