A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to ANAT alumnus Yandell Walt

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to ANAT alumnus Yandell Walton, whose work will feature in the LABVERDE: Art Immersion Program in the Amazon. 🙌🙌🙌

Yandell say's "this residency will allow me to capture the landscape and process the data to create 3D models that I will bring to life through motion capture with human movement. It's an extension of the ANAT IDEATE project and I have been waiting 2 years for this opportunity so very excited."

The work in the featured image is created using LIDAR scanning technology at local sites in Nillumbik. LIDAR, which stands for Light Detection and Ranging, is a remote sensing method that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser to measure ranges (variable distances) to the Earth. Yandell uses LIDAR DATA by processing it into a point cloud making visualisations that can be animated.

The residency, held this September is a multidisciplinary platform for artists, scientists and other agents of knowledge developed in association with Manifesta Arts and Culture and the National Institute for Amazonian Research.

The ANAT alumni is a network of hundreds of artists, scientists and technologists. A lifelong community of remarkable, diverse and engaged professionals.

THE MEEP REPORT :: Our artists-in residence from the future, MEEP, are preparing an evaluation of the Multiplicity program. After communing with us over 3 days at SPECTRAlive, gathering data via multi-presencing and singular interactions, their report will be an audit into multispecies inclusion and participation which they guarantee will drive change for the next 60 years. STAY TUNED!

Sometimes, answering big questions means making sense of a much smaller world. ANAT alumnus Andrea Rassell’s 'The Society of NanoBioSensing' blends art and technology to bring science out of the laboratory, and show us that there’s much more to our world than meets the eye. In an installation that’s half electron microscope, half playful Kinect interface, come explore the nanoworld up close.

Andrea's work appears TODAY & tomorrow as part of @melbknowledgeweek

ANAT ALUMNI :: Guy Ben-Ary is an artist and researcher based in Perth, known for making biotechnological artworks.

Guy’s journey with ANAT started as far back as 2004, when he was invited to present MEART in Ciber@RT Bilbao 2004: International Festival of New Technologies, Art + Communication. Afterward, he joined the ANAT Ideate Residency in 2020 with Nathan Thompson; and also participated in the ANAT DNA Lab in 2021. Most recently, Guy and Nathan's work Bricolage was featured in ANAT SPECTRA 2022: Multiplicity, specifically in SPECTRAvision Episode 2: Machines Like Us, Cells Like Them.

Guy currently works at SymbioticA, at the University of Western Australia. His main research areas are cybernetics, bio-robotic and “in-vitro” intelligence. Much of his work is inspired by science and nature; and usually utilises motion, growth and data to investigate the technological aspects of today’s culture.

Episode 6 : 'postscript' will commence 10am (AEST) with a panel discussion, the day will be steered by our three moderators; Vanessa Bartlett, Leah Barclay and Zena Cumpston. In a series of moderated conversations and discussions, artists and researchers will speak to their current projects in the near-shadow of the Multiplicity program. Participants will be asked two simple questions: what am I doing now? and how will it affect what I do next?

'Postscript' is an ONLINE academic inquiry into the future, curated by David Pledger, Zamara Robison and Robert Walton.

Curated by David Pledger in collaboration with a circle of outstanding artists and thinkers ANAT SPECTRA 2022 :: Multiplicity is proudly presented by the Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) in partnership with the University of Melbourne, Science Gallery Melbourne, together with program partners The Things We Did Next (TTWDNext), Typecast Entertainment, RMIT University and Leonardo.

We're absolutely delighted to WELCOME Megan Kelleher to the ANAT Board!
You may have enjoyed Megan's perceptive questions and insight during last week's ANAT SPECTRA at @scigallerymel The 2nd proposition from day 1... an in-conversation with Stelarc and Reggie Ba-Pe.

Megan is a PhD candidate and one of RMIT’s Vice Chancellor’s Indigenous Pre‑Doctoral Fellows in the School of Media and Communication. The title of her thesis is ‘Blockchain Mapping and Indigenous Knowledge Systems: Observations at the interface between distributed consensus technology and Indigenous governance’. Megan is investigating whether the affordances of blockchain technology are culturally appropriate for Indigenous governance.

Welcome to Team ANAT Megan!

Now that SPECTRAlive has concluded, our artists in residence MEEP have dematerialised back to their future.
