While we at ANAT don’t have a crystal ball, we have decided to continue our planning for ANAT SPECTRA 2020 *until it becomes evident that we need to do otherwise.
We feel strongly that at a time of such uncertainty and stress it’s important to have things to look forward to, to be out in the world again, with our community.
Registrations will open in early June… but of course we’ll keep you posted in the event that changes.

Effective immediately, ANAT is implementing social distancing measures to mitigate the risk of contracting and passing on the Coronavirus. As such, the ANAT Salon in Adelaide scheduled for 8 April has been postponed until further notice. We still plan to hold the event as soon as we can. We appreciate your patience and flexibility in these rapidly changing circumstances.
Thank you and stay well!

AAAF LOG :: "Darron Lehmann from the Bureau of Meteorology at Mawson Station was kind enough to take us through the process of releasing a weather balloon. Balloons are released at exactly 4:15 PM every day along with hundreds of others around the world. The balloons capture temperature, humidity, wind speed and wind direction and add to the global model for weather forecasting. Darron dons a flash suit to protect himself from potential explosion of the hydrogen which is made on station. He also wears a man down trigger in case something happens and he is suddenly reclining. It triggers the fire alarms across station after 30 seconds in the horizontal position. The balloon starts off about 1 metre across big but expands to the size of a house as it reaches the upper atmosphere." Adam Nash and Dr John McCormick were awarded the 2019–20 Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship.

"This aurora was a little dim and cloudy for an hour or so then turned on the whole cinematic display with dancing curtains and greens and pinks and purples covering the sky over the Aurora Australis (ship). I couldn't capture the sheer majesty of it all and the ship was rolling a bit so hard to get a still image. Those white squiggles are stars." @wild.system @ausantarctic #antarctica

AAAF LOG :: "We recorded going through the sea ice with the 360 camera and the ambisonic mic. They travel well together.
2. The journey from Davis Station to Mawson Station was magical. We passed through Iceberg Alley however passage was blocked by fast ice. We headed through a polynya, an area of open water surrounded by ice, which, with no wind, was like a mirror at times.
3. Penguins never lose their charisma. Here are a few we encountered on the way to Mawson."

The 2020 ANAT Synapse callout closed yesterday and we're delighted to have received a record number of applications! Andrea Rassell’s 2019 ANAT Synapse residency with the Ian Potter NanoBioSensing Facility at RMIT, gave her the opportunity to work alongside nanoscientists making biological sensing technologies using nanoparticle systems.
This work-in-progress documentation shows a virtual microscope made from hundreds of individual Scanning Electron Microscopy images. These create a super-resolution image and the ability to zoom in and out without the use of a microscope. Andrea is experimenting with gestural and tactile interfaces to allow the audience to interact with nanotechnological materials in an embodied way.
.
The two samples shown here are CuTCNQ, a crystalline material that acts a sponge for toxic environmental and industrial chemicals, and ZIF-8, a nanoengineered material that acts as a gene-delivery system and cancer therapy. These nanoparticles are shown here on top of prostrate tumour cells.
.
Andrea will begin a residency in June at Taller 30, a collaborative artists space in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

ANAT alumnus Elizabeth Willing's star continues to rise! Research forms the backbone of Elizabeth's practice. During her 2019 ANAT AWRI (the Australian Wine Research Institute) residency she explored the synaesthetic harmony between the flavour of wines and the visual aesthetics of still and moving imagery.
This month Elizabeth is exhibiting work alongside artists including Janine Antoni and Andy Warhol at the Museum Tinguely in Basel, as part of "Amuse-bouche: The Taste of Art".
CONGRATULATION Elizabeth!

AAAF LOG :: "We are now stooging about 20km from Davis behind the Two Ladies Bank waiting for the storm to peak and then drop enough to cut and run into Davis to transfer the passengers ashore. Winds are gusting over 70 knots. Sea is looking real interesting. And just a bit humbling. We're pointing into a glacier in the distance. Hard to comprehend the scale. I'm not going to go out and get a photo just now."
Update from digital artists Adam Nash and Dr John McCormick’s voyage on the Aurora Australis to Mawson research station in Antarctica. Since 2017, ANAT has partnered with the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) on its Arts Fellowship program. ............................................................
Adam and John McCormick were awarded the 2019–20 Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship. They are using LiDAR scanning, portable motion capture, 3D sound recording and 360 degree video to create an artistic virtual reality simulation of the Aurora Australis' resupply voyage to Mawson station.
