Chemist cocktail creations by ANAT Alumnus Chris Henschke...’Synthesism' OPEN until 29 November @ CSIRO Clayton
.
Chris has undertaken an ANAT Synapse residency at CSIRO, collaborating with chemists who work with Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs).
.
MOFs are a novel class of programmable molecules with unique and complex surface structures. Henschke experimented with the nature of chemical synthesis, and how this could be manifested using the MOF chemicals directly.
.
Site-specific experiments which synthesize audio-visual MOF phenomena will be presented at the CSIRO Australian Manufacturing and Materials Precinct in Clayton.

In 'Asset Pack', ANAT Alumnus Baden Pailthorpe intensifies his examination of the cultures of late capitalism by reinterpreting the material culture of digital marketplaces. Like an archaeologist unearthing speculative objects from the networks that increasingly define our lives, these artworks speak to the complex and unstable nature of society today.
.
At @metroarts until 30 November.

ANAT SALON :: Sydney :: Emotionally Engaging the Machine
.
Are emotional interactions with machines notional, unintentional reactions driven by anthropomorphism? What senses (if any) do AI’s use to emotionally engage with humans?
Dr Belinda Dunstan’s research interest in social robot morphology, technology ethics, and responsive environments, mean she is perfectly poised to speculate on these big questions.
Belinda is one of three leading artists examining human interactions with robots & machines next month, at ANAT’s new series of gatherings talking art + tech.

CONGRATULATIONS digital artists, Dr Adam Nash and Dr John McCormick, who have been awarded the 2019/20 Australian Antarctic Arts Fellowship. Together, they are known as Wild System and develop mixed reality art works and installation.
.
Since 2017, ANAT has partnered with the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD) on its Arts Fellowship program. Through the program artists and writers are able to spend time at one of the AAD research stations, Casey, Davis or Mawson, or to join the AAD research vessel as it voyages to and from Antarctica.
.
As Australia’s icebreaker sails south next year, the sights, sounds and movement of the ship on the Southern Ocean will be captured and packaged into an immersive experience all can share. “We hope to capture the experience of being on the Aurora Australis and create an immersive, affecting work,” Dr Nash said. “It is a lifelong dream to travel to Antarctica. We want to create a work that honours the spirit of those who have explored the world's last great wilderness area,” Dr McCormick said.
.
The pair will travel to Antarctica on the RSV Aurora Australis in January next year to re-create a virtual representation of the ship and those who sail on it. They will use cutting-edge technologies, such as drones, portable motion capture system, ambisonic recordings, LiDAR scanning and still, 360 and video cameras, to map the physical aspects of the voyage. These recordings will be joined together into playable artworks for immersive experiences at galleries and festivals, and via mobile, gaming and virtual reality technology.
.
The project is supported by RMIT University School of Design and Swinburne University Centre for Transformative Media Technologies. .
