We are excited to announce a collaboration with the ‘Signal to Noise’ exhibition at the fantastic new National Communication Museum (NCM) in Hawthorn, Naarm, for day 1 of the conference. The day 1 activities will draw on the creative archives, exhibitions and interactive spaces in the NCM and have been made possible thanks to generous support from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society (ADM+S).

Day 1 will include a keynote panel on infrastructures of noise with Dang Nguyen, (RMIT), Ranjodh Dhaliwal Singh, (University of Basel), Kate Mannell (Deakin) and Fabian Offert (University of California, Santa Barbara), as well as a series of workshops and a public event in the evening with Eryk Salvaggio and further international and national artists (to be announced soon!).

Day 2 and 3 will take place at Deakin Downtown in Docklands. We look forward to a keynote on technologies of reproduction by Elizabeth Stephens (University of Queensland), in discussion with Jaya Keaney(University of Melbourne), to kick off a day of presentations, pre-submitted paper workshops, and ‘Making and Doing’ sessions, which will include posters and short, timed tours where presenters will have a few minutes to introduce their installations.

The keynote for day 3 on noise within health includes Warwick Anderson (University of Sydney), Kari Lancaster (University of Bath), and Christopher O’Neill (Deakin).
