Atemporal 2.0” is a live cinema performance by audiovisual artists The Light Surgeons that was created in memory of the novelist, painter, and poet John Berger.

It is a poetic audiovisual concert that unites original musical compositions, documentary film, video artworks and animations created by collaborating artists Tim Cowie and Christopher Thomas Allen. Their combined sonic and visual outputs are brought together live to create a unique performance that reflects on John Berger’s thoughts and philosophies on time and memory.

Atemporal 2.0 is simultaneously a musical composition, an evolving video artwork, and experimental documentary; a dynamic live audiovisual essay that contemplates our human condition and celebrates an important voice in art criticism and cultural thinking.
