It’s always interesting to review your publications in any given calendar year, not just for the ‘bean counting’ purpose of tracking data and viewing metrics, but also because socio-culturally, the papers I write reveal much about my evolution as a writer. Complimenting the artwork I make ( like this projection image above, from the CPA Residency at Collingwood Yards Melbourne, October 2024), writing plays a huge part in evolving my own ‘creative chaos’. So here is a non-hierarchal list of my writing/editorial contributions in 2025:
- Co-editor of the Proceedings of the 29th International Symposium on Electronic Arts (Meanjin/Brisbane 2024), with Gavin Sade, Andrew Brown, Leah Barclay, Jen Seevink, Anastasia Tyurina. Volume 1 of the Proceedings from the 29th International Symposium of Electronic Art, including all academic papers, is downloadable here:
Below is some poetic and quite lovely writing from Wesley Enoch and Gavin Sade about the conferences amazing 2024 theme, Everywhen:
“ISEA2024 sets out to explore human perception of timescales and challenge our understanding of past, present and future in the days of singularity and climate change – the Everywhen.
The Everywhen is the concept of all time simultaneously present in a place and describes the notion that past, present and future are co-habiting any given location. Where many western cultures believe time is the constant and travels in a linear progression from now to then, First Nations Australians describe the before then, then, now and the future then existing in the constant presence of place: The Everywhen.”
2. Constellations, the large emerging technologies exhibition for ISEA 2024, has been described in a paper that was presented in May at ISEA2025, Seoul, Korea. Co-authored with ISEA2024 co-chair Prof. Gavin Sade, the paper is called ‘New Methods in Curating Emerging Technologies: the ‘Constellations’ Exhibition’. Publication coming soon. Below is a photograph from the screening of the guest program at Ars Electronica in 2024 which I was very privileged to curate ( following on from ISEA Brisbane).
3. New chapter with Prof. Jill Scott and Dr. Clarissa Ribeiro ( University of Sao Paolo), forthcoming soon in the book ‘Transdiscourse 3’ (De Gruyter), edited by the legendary Jill Scott ( the art-science academic not the singer!).
4. Following a successful presentation at the fantastic Ars Electronica Animation Festival 2025, of our paper “Beyond Instrumentalism: Posthuman Assemblages and AI in Contemporary Animation”, the paper is forthcoming in the proceedings ( through ACM Digital Library) and is co-authored with June Kim ( UNSW and UC Santa Cruz) and Simon Howden (UnCalculated Studio/High Stakes Records).
This article offers a critical reinterpretation of recent literature on Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI), from the fields of computer science, animation, and digital filmmaking, applying a broadly posthumanist theoretical lens with the aim of threading together disparate discourses, engaging both technical and artistic perspectives. We focus on current issues of relevance for digital artists and animators in the interactive arts and filmmaking space, by examining concerns (labour relations, ethics, authorship), as well as commendations (co-creativity, efficiency, expansion).
