We’re calling for applications from artists and scientists for our prestigious Synapse Residency program, which, since 2004, has enabled research collaborations between more than 100 artists and scientists.

Anna is a multidisciplinary artist based on Ngunnawal and Ngambri land, Canberra, who explores expressive interpretations of scientific concepts. Her current practice focuses on alternative forms of temporality related to climate change.

Hosted by the ANU Research School of Astrophysics and Astronomy (RSAA) at Mount Stromlo Observatory, Anna's project combines creative practice with methods of observational astronomy to investigate the growing impacts and potential mitigation strategies of human-caused space pollution.

CALLING FOR APPLICATIONS :: 2023 ANAT Synapse Resi CALLING FOR APPLICATIONS :: 2023 ANAT Synapse Residency. ANAT Alumnus Eugenie Lee  says "the quick and dirty summary of what I do as an artist is that I give pain to people for a living." 

Eugenie's 2014 ANAT Synapse residency introduced her to neuroscientists who specialised in pain research. Her first art-tech hybrid 'Seeing Is Believing' (2016-2019), was a combination of performance and installation that gave participants the illusion of experiencing the symptoms of a neuropathic disease called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome.

We’re calling for applications from artists and scientists for our prestigious Synapse Residency program, which, since 2004, has enabled research collaborations between more than 100 artists and scientists.

NIKI SPEROU is a South Australian artist with a longstanding engagement within the nexus between art, science and culture. Since 2006 she has been the resident artist at the Department of Medical Biotechnology, Flinders University. 

Her interest in contemporary  innovations in technology, the body and her cultural background have led her to draw parallels between biotechnology and ancient Greek cultural paradigms. For Sperou these connections emerge in chimerical forms and concepts.

CALLING FOR APPLICATIONS :: 2023 ANAT Synapse Resi CALLING FOR APPLICATIONS :: 2023 ANAT Synapse Residency…. Artist Linda Dement's friend and mentor, the artist George Schwarz, departed this life 28/5/2021. He had heart failure. Linda recorded some of his last breaths.

As part of their 2021 ANAT Synapse residency Linda and Paul Brown worked with this recording to produce 3D forms, bio-printed with live beating cardiac cells – cardiac growth on the shape and structure of cardiac failure – new life forming from last breaths.

The resulting extraordinary work 'Last Breaths', was exhibited at ISEA in Barcelona this year.

Linda and Paul collaborated with Dr Carmine Gentile and his team at the Cardiovascular Regeneration Group, University of Technology Sydney during their residency. Their work traverses terrains of life and death, bodies and technologies, human and inhuman, the strained edges of wounded hearts and the stretching extremities of bio-technical possibility.

FINALE 💃 Dancing out 2022 with Robots 🤖 🎉 FINALE 💃 Dancing out 2022 with Robots 🤖 🎉  Earlier this month 2022 ANAT Synapse resident Dr Steph Hutchison performed a choreographed dance with a large industrial robot, in front of a crowd of 170 of Australia’s top roboticists and manufacturing industry leaders.

Steph's interactive performance was the finale to her 2022 ANAT Synapse residency, a collaboration between Steph, QUT’s robotics Professor Jonathan Roberts and Dr Dasun Gunasinghe – with a showstopping surprise appearance by Spot, operated by Marisa Bucolo.

Steph and Jonathan's work will further researcher’s understanding of how people can predict robotic movements, with the aim of better integrating people and robots in the workplace.

CONGRATULATIONS :: 2025 AD, a Digital Avatar will CONGRATULATIONS :: 2025 AD, a Digital Avatar will succeed NYID Artistic Director David Pledger. In a succession plan to become an AI-led small arts organsiation, Not Yet It's Difficult (NYID) has announced the creation and appointment of a digital human, 2025 AD.

"We aim to develop a co-agentic relationship with 2025 AD", says David. "I know they haven’t been born yet but there is a lot of love already for 2025 AD. Internally, we’re calling them the Artists’ Friend.”

Early in 2022 David was ANAT SPECTRA 2022 Curator. 
We applaud his ability to continually take the pulse of the times and create bold, innovative and egalitarian actions. 

If NYID's realisation is successful, administrative, management and advocacy tasks will be done by AI, freeing David and his collaborators to engage solely in their artistic practices.

His current research interests include hostile architecture, bureaucracy, seaweed, and the neo-capitalist hellhole we’re all forced to exist within. Conceptually Brad’s work is often informed by his First Nations and Anglo Australian heritage. Brad’s mob is Narungga, Kaurna, Ngarrind- jeri and he is a proud member of the Chester family.

What a Year! With 2022 rapidly drawing to a close, What a Year! With 2022 rapidly drawing to a close, we wanted to take a look back and again thank the 170 artists, speakers and researchers who featured in SPECTRAvision and ANAT SPECTRAlive.

In early 2022 were elated, exhilarated and a little exhausted to have presented a series of five online episodes and a three day in-person gathering in Melbourne, called ANAT SPECTRA 2022 :: Multiplicity.

"It is vital for ANAT to keep the strength of the work and conversations moving forward with our plan to make ANAT SPECTRA a triennial program looking at a more engaged national focus. Remember, that without community we are nothing”.

Pictured here is John Bline's 'Data, Machine Drawing', 2022

JOHN BLINES is a South Australian visual artist with a focus on the complexity as well as the vulnerability of the human body (mind). As resident artist at the Flinders Centre for Innovation in Cancer (FCIC) since 2015, his research includes molecular biology and behavioural science. The foundation of John’s art practice is drawing, and his research methodology is the systematic mapping and remapping of information and data. Through this process he seeks to develop an archive: the resulting multilayered works attempt to characterise both the complexity, chance, and impermanence.

The Arts South Australia funded collaboration between University of South Australia  and ANAT has commissioned the featured artists to research and develop innovative and experimental artworks engaging with science and technology.
