North Australian; Director Landscape Knowledge Visualisation Lab - supporting best practice land management. Spatial data and simulation innovation.
Fire planning in full swing on Aak Puul Ngnantam (APN) country this week. Owned entirely by Southern Wik traditional owners, APN Cape York works to support land and sea management, using new and old tools to get good fire on the country. This week their planning was supported by a 3D (printed) projection augmented landscape model that showed previously fire history animations and other environmental layers to assist discussions about this year's work. I developed this for them last year so it was great to see it in action. One tool amongst many supporting good communication and good outcomes. Thanks Daryl Killin and Melissa Sinclair for the collaboration bringing this on board. Charles Darwin University Northern Institute

NI Researcher, Professor Jen Deger, presented the Day One Keynote at the Future of Arts, Culture & Technology Symposium (FACT 2025) Conference at ACMI (Federation Square, Melbourne). About the keynote 'Gathering our Fractured Futures' This keynote explores the special conviviality of thinking, worrying, and making together in times of escalating uncertainty and peril. As the futures that some of us once took for granted fracture and burn, new coalitions of researchers are emerging to challenge disciplinary and institutional conventions, motivated by a shared conviction that scholarship itself must change in response to the stakes of contemporary life. By turning to the dynamically interactive zones of computer screens, speakers, and the click-and-scroll haptics of online navigation, publications such as Feral Atlas and curatorium pursue a collective recalibration of our senses and a renewed attention to the arts of making sense in troubled times.
