a bit in love with this rewire online festival platform 🤩 https://live.rewirefestival.nl/ the fest ended yesterday but there's a bunch of streams available til next weekend so I'm doing some catch-up (fav so far is the claire rousay/Morita Vargas collab from Saturday)
Hey everyone. This Sunday, March 28, 11am-12pm AEDT @becfary and I will be leading a reading of the introduction to Jenny Odell's 'How to Do Nothing' at Hill of Content Bookshop for Melbourne Design Week. It's a wonderful chapter, and book, and we'll be responding to it with a focus on the question, 'How can we promote peer-to-peer learning through design?' Bec has graciously stepped in for Toni Roberts. Entry by donation booking, please join us if you can! https://designweek.melbourne/events/reading-aloud/
Spending time with this broadcast - https://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/98331 - from WFMU's Radio Row, Ariana Martinez + Jackson Roach listening-through/talking-through sensory ecologies and embodied perceptions 🍃
very lucky to be listening to a preview of Wound Without a Tear - https://daisart.bandcamp.com/album/wound-without-a-tear - a gorgeous compilation of 'Australian' ambient and experimental music from 1993-2008, releasing on Daisart next week + for now there's one streamable track at the link. this'll definitely be my writing soundtrack this week 💚
A fantastically eerie set of field recording from Lawrence English - somehow claustrophobic even in feeling empty and vast - one you might enjoy in particular @becfary https://lawrenceenglish.bandcamp.com/album/field-recordings-from-the-zone
Amy Hanley's 'Translating Ambiance Through Queer Ecologies: A Speculative Cartographic Imaginary', including their awesome piece 'Sonic Entanglements', is out in the new issue of Unlikely - https://unlikely.net.au/issue-06/queer-ecologies
For me, for you by Natalia Newling in the new issue of Runway has an interesting online listening interface http://runway.org.au/natalia-newling/
“The so-called cloud is a definitely material and mainly hardwired network...” https://www.newyorker.com/culture/cultural-comment/the-hidden-costs-of-streaming-music [Kyle Devine on his book 'Decomposed: The Political Ecology of Music']
this article (and presumably the book it's about) focuses on music streaming, and i'd like to hear more of these conversations in other online listening environments/communities — the materialities of the so-called cloud is something i'm trying to be more thoughtful about

inspired by the https://www.frontyardprojects.org/ homepage I'm spending some time with https://native-land.ca/ and their API
thought some other folks here might be interested in their webinar — 'Enhancing Our Understanding: Learning and Teaching about Indigenous Cultures, Languages, and Territories' https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xl1yWRr4Quu64oyG9rgYxg (it's this Friday 8:30am AEST if I've calculated right!)
