Night of Ideas at the MCA 2023

Night of Ideas at the MCA 2023

The MCA presents the 8th edition of the annual global event, the Night of Ideas 2023 (La Nuit des Idées) dedicated to the theme of More (Plus)?

The theme of this year's Night of Ideas More (Plus)? addresses the seemingly never-ending need for 'more', whether in the form of overconsumption, stimulation, possessions or pushing boundaries in the pursuit of excellence. As a counterpoint, there will also be a focus on finding balance and value within slowness.

Learn about and discuss ideas shared by cross-disciplinary speakers, enjoy MCA exhibitions and join an Art Flow guided wellbeing experience.

Moderated by Amanda Collinge (ABC's Producer of Q+A) and Daniel Browning (ABC's The Art Show) the line-up features speakers from France and Australia, including:

  • Cybernetics expert Geneviève Bell

  • Professor in Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cédric Buche on AI featuring human and robotic interactions.

  • Artist and curator at MONA (Museum of Old and New Art) Kirsha Kaechele who is also founder of Material Institute - a charity with branches in New Orleans, USA, and lutruwita/Tasmania, Australia. Her work focuses on the space where complex problems exist and places of transformation.

  • Guest curator of the MCA's Do Ho Suh exhibition and CEO of Bundanon Trust Rachel Kent on the quality of slowness in the artist's work

  • Contemporary artist Dr Danie Mellor exploring alternative creative spaces and the role of NFT'S in the evolution of art

  • Best-selling author, podcaster, philanthropist and climate change advisor, Sarah Wilson, known globally for founding the I Quit Sugar movement on the benefit of slowing down

Additional speakers and performers to be announced.

Entry to Do Ho Suh, the Sydney International Art Series 2022/2023 exhibition, is included in your ticket.
