Some stuff I’ve been up to:

• Went on a tour of Iron Age Scotland with an infrared camera, that was fun! We visited Neolithic and Iron Age sites in Scotland - they look great in infrared.

• Did an “Expat Tales” interview for Stuff.co.nz.

• Produced a music video, “Scattered”, for Melrose / Port Augusta band Fridge Junkies. Has some cool infrared fish-eye images in there, and lots of moving camera.

• I put together a Highlights Reel, of work, from major projects like Open Air, from work with Geoscience Australia for Cop27, and from a projection at Melbourne projection facility The Lume. I think I put it together for a grant submission, as you do. Didn’t get the grant - ah well.

• My multi-screen work, “alight the turning Earth”, was on show in Canberra at CMAG during March-April 2025.

• Sampling the Cirrus Band was showing in the Noordelict festival in the Netherlands July-September 2025.

• ANAT interviewed me for the October 2025 edition of their Spectra conference Q&A series.

• I’m working on a project that involves taking 3D drone scans of opal mines in outback South Australia - the project is called Hive. It’s just in proof of concept stage - but the early images are pretty cool!

• We had a hammer party and demolished the dunny at my property - demolition is a lot of fun.

• The “Australian Cloud Atlas”, was on show for a year from October 2022 at The Lume in Melbourne.

• The Path 99 project had a screening in September 2022 in the XR:WA festival in Perth, at the Scitech planetarium.

• A new issue of photographic journal “Writing With Light” features a story and images by me from my Invalid Data and Cirrus Series - it’s a free download, available here…

• In 2023 in issue 1 of Creative Matters, an online journal run by the DDCA (Deans and Directors of Creative Arts ), I published a Manifesto for Creative Research Excellence, in collaboration with Tully Barnett and Craig Batty.

• The “Smelling Rivers” workshop was an art-science experience presented at the “rivus” Sydney Biennale in 2022, with my colleagues Amanda Reichelt-Brushett and Moya Costello.

• Before I left SCU, I did an interview with SCU Buzz, and had a great chat with River about all things

• art and science.

• More infrared - wandering round Central Australia and New Zealand.
