One of the many brilliant events at #AustralianCybernetic at the ANU School of Cybernetics this week was a live #ScienceFriction #podcast recording with @feraldata in conversation with @natashamitchell, with special guests Matthew Tjapaltjarri Heffernan and Hannah Feldman - catch it here:

The #AustralianCybernetic exhibition at the
new ANU School of Cybernetics was well worth the bus ride from Sydney.

Some works I’ve known of for a long time but never seen, but also a lot - new for me - early explorations of creative technology works plus new works.

The new works and curatorial texts also help with a contemporary critical framing

Waiting for the catalogue :)

Woot! Looking forward to a couple more events for #AustralianCybernetic this morning, and then @AlgFuturesLab #AFPLhmc22 Human-Machine Collaboration is this evening 🎉

https://algorithmicfutures.org/hmc22/

Today in #AustralianCybernetic we have Christopher Mesiku and Maia Gould from ANU Cybernetics workshopping #data and how it can be used for #social outcomes.

Yep! That's a #theremin in real life! It's one of the fascinating exhibits at #AustralianCybernetic, to launch the ANU School of Cybernetics.

If you're in #Canberra #CBR next week, don't miss the range of events we have on as part of #AustralianCybernetic - a point through time.

It's an #exhibition of #cybernetics and art - and features artefacts never before brought to Australia.

If you're in #Canberra #CBR on 30th November 4pm to 6.30pm, there are only a couple of spots left for the live #podcast #recording of #ScienceFriction with @natashamitchell and @feraldata as part of the ANU Cybernetics launch event, #AustralianCybernetic

Event is free, but bookings required.

Good afternoon #Mastodon! It's time for another #connection #connectionlist #introduction - to help you connect you with more incredible folx in the Fediverse :fediverse:

@natashamitchell is a #journo #journalist with the ABC, who presents the #ScienceFriction podcast (live broadcast from ANU Cybernetics in late November - follow #AustralianCybernetic for more deets) 🇦🇺

@daxtens is a #programmer and #linux person, who works on the #grub bootloader and he's been super helpful with guiding me to learn more around #Mastodon. Thank you so much, Daniel! 🇦🇺

@rctatman is incredible and she is a socio-#linguist and works with #languagetech such as #ASR and #TTS and #NLP. It was her #PhD work that helped me direct my own research 🇺🇸

@istathar is Andrew, and he works on #space exploration. He works with #Haskell and #fp and also #linux and #opensource.

@jwarburton is Jessica and she is into #sysadmin stuff. She is based in #Melbourne / #Naarm 🇦🇺

More tonight!

You've probably heard of #Mastodon and the #TwitterMigration by now - but what's it got to do with #Cybernetics?

Here's a little piece I wrote for the @ANUcybernetics@twitter.com School blog.

Check out the launch events at the end of Nov too! #AustralianCybernetic

I missed yesterday's #connectionlist #connection #introduction - sorry - I was at the beach!

Today I'd like you all to meet:

@forslund - Åke is from Sweden 🇸🇪 and he is a #Python developer. He is a big fan of #fika (me too, Åke, me too!) and he was a delight to work with when I was at Mycroft.AI (also a big hi to my Mycroft.AI colleague @krisgesling who's based in #Australia in the top end and who loves #languages - from memory, Gez speaks Yolgnu Matha - an Indigenous language from northern Australia).

@glasnt is a Senior #DevRel person based in #Melbourne #Naarm 🇦🇺 and she also does a lot of work with the #Python and #opensource communities.

@dtbell91 is one of my favourite people in the world - he is a #devops and #devsecops person based in #Australia 🇦🇺 He's a deep thinker, level-headed and someone I admire greatly.

@emilymbender is a bit of a hero of mine - she is a Professor of #Linguistics at UW and takes a #criticalAI stance to a lot of recent #LLMs - she's a co-author on the #StochasticParrots paper you may have read. 🇺🇸

@anucybernetics, headed up by @feraldata is a mirror account I've created so you don't have to be on The Bird Site as much. We're having a School #launch in late November - and you should join us! #AustralianCybernetic #Canberra 🇦🇺
