soak and a spritz for Shelley Watters' living sculpture. amazing to see the plants move throughout the days. the work speaks to feminist labour and ecology. love it @ invisibleart.space

hi all, I'm opening a popup gallery / art space in Balmain / White Bay in mid June. if you're in Sydney we'd love to see you there! we have exhibitions & residencies being planned for Jun-Sept to start with. any questions, please let me know 🙂

hello white bay // balmain keys collected today, gallery space fitout in progress. Sydney turned out the winter weather for us invisibleart.space opening 14 June!

winter project I'm working on ... www.instagram.com/invisibleart...

am looking fwd to "across the fungiverse: fungal ecologies, materials and soundscapes" class at the School of Machines - exploring "the mysterious and magical world of fungi, combining mycology, history, material science, and sensory experience" www.schoolofma.org/programs/p/e... always learn a lot!

now reading: "Bio Design: Nature + Science + Creativity" by William Myers / MoMA. very inspiring uses of materials, beautiful too. useful for research for my current piece (if it all comes together)

"Wonderground profiles three artists who re-imagine ideas of kinship and ask us to look closely at ties that bind - TIYAN BAKER, DIANA SCHERER, LÉULI ESHRĀGHI" wonderground.press/artdesign/ro...

pretty worrying hearing about some of these data sources being shutdown/closed off in US. feels like they were uplifted into the (proprietary) ML training buckets then closed off at the source. this will be an issue in future, even with advanced search/research algorithms

currently reading: "Virtual Art: From Illusion to Immersion" by Oliver Grau - delving into illusion & immersion throughout art history, where vr/xr etc is just the tip of the iceberg

The 2025 Workshop on Computer Vision for Mixed Reality (CV4MR) will take place at CVPR, June 10-17 2025. Official Call for Papers will be published very soon here: cv4mr.github.io If you're interested in being a reviewer, feel free to email me: [email protected]

atm I'm still on tw mostly. it's hard to give up so many yrs of history plus highly curated feeds/lists for one idiot. I don't seem to see the bad posts ppl mention. will try post more here too. am a creature of habit though

installed one of my "specture" works, "bilby shimmer" at the gallery for the PROCESS.ED group show at Articulate Project Space in Sydney explores putting extinct bilbies onto the blockchain. they build new habitats & landscapes in the digital world. we can see their view via the bowl/projection

looking for an auto-followback setting. am way behind, oops

tried a few 3d prints: larger 'wallabye' representing the 3 extinct species of wallabies in NSW + a plastisphere creature (would suit glass) +participating in #genuary this year - a code based generative art drawing (almost) each day in January. posting them on tw & insta mainly + some on rodeo

sad to see the devastation caused by the winter fires in Los Angeles. hope ppl stay safe

fun. nice to see a positive outlook!

the big day has arrived - Australian XR Festival awards tonight at State Library of NSW, Sydney & streamed for remote ppl. happy to share that my ‘plastisphere creatures’ work is a finalist in the CreativeAI category stream: www.youtube.com/@AustralianX... 5:30-9pm window tonight AEDT/syd timezone

2024 was the year of AI Slop. So this week, I’m writing about what it is, and how it gets made. In part one, I define AI slop as part of an ideology of AI (“who does slop help?”) in part two, we look at its aesthetics — “how does slop mean?” mail.cyberneticforests.com/slop-infrast... #criticalai

thank you!

"WHERE is the photographic image?" Let's move beyond the obsession with photography's identity and see where photography is happening instead!Submit to this open call for Der Greif magazine I'm co-curating. site.picter.com/der-greif-gu...

very happy to share that plastisphere creatures has been selected as a finalist in the Australian XR Festival's #creativeAI category ! Winners announced 14th Dec at in-person ceremony at the State Library of NSW, Sydney filmfreeway.com/AustralianXR... exciting! 🌱💚✨

Good read here, reminiscent of a piece (more so the talk I gave) at a gallery in Germany this year, which looked at chance operations in George Brechts’ work in contrast with the constraints of generative AI: www.cyberneticforests.com/news/reverse...

Concrete poem from my Sliced Poems series

#readingroom (need more chars)

enjoying this book: "Bodies of Water" by Astrida Neimanis ::: continuing the lines of thought of body as water/embodiment through to posthuman & anthropocene. mentions of Haraway, Braidotti, Grosz, Deleuze in first chapter, bodes well. came across this via @eryk.bsky.social or Joel Stern, I think?

“Ian Burn is still best known as a stalwart and apostate of Conceptual art. Reviewing his collected writings, Victoria Perin surveys the less tractable side of Burn’s work, from his speculative studies of landscape to his anecdotal fabrications.” sydneyreviewofbooks.com/reviews/the-... #readingroom

some of my specture creatures ::: speculative evolution & extinction 3d prints, PLA www.instagram.com/p/DC5tWpfvqUD

enjoying this book: Computational Formalism - Art History and Machine Learning by Amanda Wasielewski. covers digital humanities and the need for both art historians voices / input when analysing art works via machine learning algorithms (at least in first chapter, reading WIP) #readingroom

Otherworlding by Djuna O’Neill in Journal of Art and Ecology journalofartandecology.com/Djuna-O-Neill am enjoying reading about Irish mythology, landscape and worldbuilding here #readingroom

❤ It's still tricky to do threads with images so I apologise for the multi posts but this is @aliak.bsky.social twitter post we referenced in the previous message. bsky.app/profile/teia...

1/12 The Teia Culture and Equity guild team has been hard at work this past month preparing "The Sun Is Not The Only Bright Star" Curatorial project! Join @stusontier @AliaK @SynkittyArt and @malsheep56 at 1 AM (UTC) to learn and discuss! Details and space links in thread 👇

I’ve written some personal thoughts on the @tezquakeaid.bsky.social initiative in this months The Tickle. https://objkt.com/asset/KT1KhepNMQ38DQ84QzT2ijVtsP1cMrvAyzJj/13

AI images aren’t images at all: they’re hypothetical images, predictions based on patterns. But the patterns it draws from are disconnected — dis-integrated — in more ways than one. In this piece I look at AI art as the aestheticization of Big Data’s politics. #criticalai #artcriticism

happy to share that some of my "specture" generative art works were included in the great digital magazine, The Tickle, this month, issue #88 (see the AliaK section) also see the beautiful digital landscapes by Helio Santos in their feature article, love them! objkt.com/asset/KT1Khe... (PDF)
