Presenting in the making & doing session @aussts.bsky.social was a fantastic opportunity to show and discuss the materiality of creative research.

This sums up how I also feel after the wonderful @aussts.bsky.social conference this week. Thank you to all organisers and presenters 🙌🏼

Are you heading to @aussts.bsky.social #AusSTS25 #SignalsAndNoises in July in Melbourne? #STS If so I hand-curated a Bluesky list of people I could find from the conference program: bsky.app/profile/did:...

It's final paper season.

New @umbra.space SAR imagery reveals the foundations of SpaceX's future Gigabay at Roberts Road. And thanks to SAR magic, we can spot the Starship Orbital Launch Mount through the fabric tent as it's being worked on.

Tomorrow I’ll be speaking about satellite networks, planetary thinking and Neural Radiance Field imaging in a seminar about my recent Fulbright scholarship. 1-2pm at ANU School of Art & Design, and online: events.humanitix.com/soad-seminar...

Today we may see the atmospheric re-entry of a historic spacecraft that was meant to land on Venus and got stuck in Earth orbit, 53 years ago. Predicted re-entry time 10 May 2025, 6:35 UTC ± 3.7 hr (via @marcolangbroek.bsky.social) 🧪 🔭 #PlanetSci

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Khaled Sabsabi speaks to @australia.theguardian.com. What a devastating impact this brutal decision is having.

Cool website: gambay.com.au Indigenous language map for Australia @ciehf.bsky.social

Today we say goodbye to ESA’s Milky Way-mapper Gaia! The Gaia spacecraft has completed its sky-scanning and will be switched off this morning.

I’m seeing a lot of people blame the Monash University Museum of Art for the decision to postpone an exhibition featuring Khaled Sabsabi. The Museum didn’t make this decision and the staff are devastated. The Museum was ordered to pull the show by Monash Vice-Chancellor Sharon Pickering.

Beyond Measure opens next weekend at Canberra Museum & Gallery! Featuring Grayson Cooke, Louise Beer, the Pale Blue Dot Collective, Yvette Hamilton, Tom Buckland, and U.K. Frederick - it’s been a privilege to step into the role of curator for this show. Join us for a floor talk on 29 March. 💫

The Climate Sign Archive in AR is now live for #climateactionweek! 💥 Visit Manly Art Gallery & Museum to build your own digital protest in Sydney’s Manly Cove, or contribute a sign here: www.climatesignarchive.com 🪧 #sydney #schoolstrikeforclimate #fridaysforfuture @350.org

Dorothy Drain's columns often included humorous or witty poetry. I like this November 1957 poem because I think she presages very modern concerns about the impact of satellites on dark skies, and the rights of the Moon. #WomenInSTEM 🧪 #IWD25

In 2020 I began collecting images of climate protest signs to make an AR app that dynamically builds digital protests. The Climate Sign Archive will be relaunched at Manly Art Gallery & Museum for #climateactionweek activating Manly Cove from 11 March www.northernbeaches.nsw.gov.au/things-to-do...

Another great piece about our Public Project course! Final night tonight at Mt Stromlo Observatory.

It wasn't until I became a space archaeologist that I learnt about Australia's amazing history in space. 1946 - one of earliest rocket launch sites in the world 1967 - 3rd nation to launch a satellite from its own territory 1940s - 1970s - forefront of global space industry 🧪#WomenInSTEM #IWD25

Many Fulbright scholars say they feel stranded after the Trump administration suspended their funding

new saddest six word story just dropped

Thanks @scienceanu.bsky.social for capturing the excitement of projecting Art & Design student work onto Mt Stromlo Observatory for Enlighten Festival. Tonight is the last night to see this (as long as the weather holds!) so get up there if you’re in Canberra! ✨

Enlighten is back in Canberra from 28 Feb to 10 March! Be sure to check out the captivating Insectarium light installation, featuring ANU and CSIRO entomologists answering your creepy crawly questions. Details: enlightencanberra.com/program/inse...

Tomorrow night at Mount Stromlo Observatory we are sharing the outcomes of the ANU School of Art & Design Public Project summer intensive I’ve been teaching! Showing this weekend and next as part of Enlighten Festival: enlightencanberra.com/program/enli...

this Adrienne Rich poem from the @yalereview.bsky.social archives sucker punched me this am

Creative Australia has announced a review into the selection process that took place for the 2026 Venice Biennale. For clarity, this is not a review of what has transpired over the last week - but rather a review into how Khaled Sabsabi was selected.

Best I’ve read on this, by Ella Barclay @aunz.theconversation.com

‘Cybertruck Man’ a cartoon in defiance of Musk #political #cartoonist #cybertruck #elon #musk #democracy #tiananmen

Strong analysis from Rosemary Sorensen on the Sabsabi debacle at Creative Australia

Philanthropist Simon Mordant has “resigned as an Ambassador to the now cancelled project and withdrawn [his] financial support." He says "The Pavilion should remain empty in solidarity with Khaled. A very dark day for Australia and the Arts”. theconversation.com/a-shameful-c...

“Creative Australia is an advocate for freedom of artistic expression and is not an adjudicator on the interpretation of art. However…” However. How few arts champions Australia has left—right when they’re needed most. Even those whose profession is just that. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

I can’t believe this..

Curious that this isn't bigger news -- Australia's most iconic multi-day walking track, rapidly being burnt out. This was 11:00 am yesterday, just south of Cradle Mountain: browser.dataspace.copernicus.eu?zoom=12&lat=...

Going to start a little thread of these, that—having been reading Kathryn Yusoff a fair bit recently—I am calling #DiagramsOfDispossession. They're all taken from geophysical surveys or mine planning documents of Global North mining companies prospecting for #TechnologyMetals in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Our latest scoop: An internal email obtained by WIRED shows that NOAA workers received orders to pause all work with 'foreign nationals.'

Finally made it to Radical Textiles at Art Gallery of South Australia - very special to see my parachute artwork floating above the North Terrace entry! Thank you to curators Rebecca Evans, Leigh Robb & installers for the beautiful display of this work. www.annamadeleine.com/signal-to-no...
