Why it is worth a look
The exhibition connects early works about high-pressure urban life with two newer video installations exploring AI, gaming culture, automation and the colonial attitudes embedded in technological progress.
Opening pattern
Southbank Centre lists 25 August–18 October 2026. HENI Project Space is open Tuesday–Friday and Sunday 10:00–18:00, Saturday 10:00–20:00, and closed Monday.
Cost and suitability
Entry is free and no ticket is required. The organiser lists the exhibition for all ages, with under-12s accompanied by an adult on the Southbank Centre site.
Plan the stop
Find HENI Project Space inside Hayward Gallery and allow enough time for video works rather than treating the page as a quick photo stop. Add one nearby activity, not a tight cross-city transfer.
Freshness
LONNOW verified the dates, hours and entry conditions on 10 September 2026. Check the official page for temporary gallery or access changes.
