An audiovisual exhibition by filmmaker Romain Gavras and musician Surkin aka Gener8ion, Visions of 2034 features 10 multimedia works including Neo Surf that explore peripheral dystopias - futures glimpsed from the margins, shaped less by collapse than by distortion.

Turning 180 Studios' underground spaces into an alternative world where machines and bodies collide, the exhibition includes premieres of seven new short films and a new immersive sound installation, as well as unseen footage and alternative scenes from Gener8ion visuals past and present.  

Continuing to build out their cinematic world, Gener8ion collaborate with Yung Lean, 070 Shake, Yannis from Foals, Oscar-winning actress Charlize Theron, acclaimed choreographer Damien Jalet, and hundreds of skittish, charismatic characters, in a living laboratory of art, sound and performance.

In the gestures of youth, the reflexes of pleasure, the machinery of control, something mutates. The world becomes a network of anomalies - familiar yet skewed. In Leeds, students smoke melted antenna hardware for the rush. In Mumbai, digital replicas of Hollywood actors perform human emotion with perfect precision. In Idaho, internet mythology hardens into broadcast. In Athens, teenagers occupy toxic shorelines that once drew tourists. In Hangzhou, children celebrate a prophet.

At the heart of the project lies an enduring question: what survives, and what doesn't. In the process, Gavras and Surkin open a reflection on how culture is consumed, processed, and forgotten.
