Neuromantics is a one-day event on December 12 that turns a Soho loft into a playable ecosystem of artist-made games, XR works, live interfaces, and moving-image pieces. Running from 4 - 11 PM at 393 Broadway, 2nd Fl, the event builds on the structural logic found in Neuromancer, the 1984 novel by William Gibson, where meaning is shaped by how people move through networks. Neuromantics approaches this idea through gaming. Works shift, open, or change state based on human action and interaction.

Across the space, artists create environments with their own systems and rules. Some projects are open. Others must be unlocked through participation, collaboration, or exchange. Each work becomes a worldbuilding exercise that depends on the visitor to operate, complete, or reveal it.

The participating artists include Aurora Mititelu, Erin Robinson + Jamie Turner, Jackie Liu, Jonah King, Tee Topor, Ian Cox, Hiba Ali, Pearlyn Lii, Chia Amisola, Shashwath Santosh + Nithin Eluvathingal, Ian Cox, Tommy Martinez, Peter Nichols, the Cybernetics Image Library, the collective of Lois He, Vio Zhu, John Luo, Kaiyang Zhao.

The evening program (8 - 10 PM) includes a sequence of live sets by Ana Roman, Raven Tao (with visuals by Yiou Wang) and MAYSUN that activate the space with audio interfaces, DIY instruments, and experimental sound.

Work is available via Metalabel, inviting the audience to navigate a new system of play, access, and interaction.

This event is co-organized by Underground Art And Design and Danielle Paterson and supported by FLORA, a professional creative workflow system that brings text, image, and video models together through a node-based intelligent canvas. Built for designers, filmmakers, agency teams, and art students, FLORA offers a powerful and controllable AI toolkit that aligns with our shared commitment to thoughtful, artist-driven innovation.
