​Soft Synthetic is a solo exhibition by Australian designer and artist Lisa Meinesz, presented as part of Chin Chin’s long-running GoGo Art Series.

​

Spanning projection, installation, and material fabrication across Chin Chin and GoGo Bar in Melbourne/Naarm, the exhibition imagines speculative ecosystems and the systems designed to sustain them. Through digitally modelled organisms and closed-loop support structures, Soft Synthetic explores how emerging bio-technologies may reshape care, control, autonomy, and biological adaptation in technologically mediated futures.

A limited-edition cocktail created in collaboration with Chin Chin’s beverage team accompanies the exhibition, extending its material and conceptual themes into a sensory experience.

​

The exhibition also features an opening activation by MaggZ, presenting a live embodied response to the work through movement and performance.
