SUMMARY:2026 ADM+S Symposium - Automated Human + Planetary Health
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Automated technologies can contribute to or undermine human and planetary health. The 2026 ADM+S Symposium focuses on current research from across the Centre that seeks to better understand the complex interconnections between automated systems and the health of people and the ecosystems of which we are part.” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\nIn Australia\, our burgeoning digital health sector is using automated decision-making (ADM) and AI to improve access to healthcare\, enhanced treatment protocols\, better diagnosis\, monitoring and prediction models\, and more personally tailored care. However\, many consumer and industry organisations\, including some of our partner organisations\, have identified potential risks posed by ADM to trust\, equitable access\, safety\, privacy\, transparency and social justice in healthcare and public health. \nADM and AI technologies are also used to maintain and monitor aspects of the environment\, including the health of animals\, plants and the quality of air\, water and soil. Here again\, there are manifold potential benefits and risks of these applications\, including issues related to ecological and multi-species justice and detrimental impacts such as increased e-waste\, carbon emissions\, water consumption and air pollution related to digital infrastructures. \nThis symposium provides a timely forum for considering the applications\, use cases and social\, political\, ethical\, legal and environmental consequences of these technologies in the context of automated human and planetary health. \nEvent Details \nThe symposium will be held at the Caufield campus of Monash University\, Victoria between Tuesday 27 and Thursday 29 October 2026. It will be organised and conducted in accordance with relevant ADM+S policies\, including: the Code of Conduct; Equity\, Diversity\, and Inclusion Strategy; and the Accessible Meetings and Events Policy. Online participation will be enabled for remote presenters and attendees. There will be no registration fee for presenters or attendees.\nMore information here: https://www.admscentre.org.au/adms-policies/ \n\n\n\nRegistrations are now open. Register before 19 October 2026 to secure your place. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#00BF63″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F4wS2934|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\nOrganising Team \n\n\n\n\nProfessor Deborah Lupton (UNSW)\nProfessor Anthony McCosker (Swinburne University of Technology)\nProfessor Nicholas Carah (University of Queensland)\nProfessor Kath Albury (Swinburne University of Technology)\nDr Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris (UNSW)\nDr Giselle Newton (University of Queensland)\nChief Operating Officer Nicholas Walsh (RMIT)\nNode Administrator Til Knowles (Monash University)\nOutreach and Partnerships Officer Matt Warren (RMIT)\n\nFor the most recent Symposium information\, including program updates\, visit the ADM+S 2026 Symposium website. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Symposium Website” style=”custom” custom_background=”#00BF63″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fadms-symposium.com%2F|target:_blank”][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\n\n\nContact Information \nAny questions please contact admsevents@rmit.edu.au \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row disable_element=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1776305698312{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”ABOUT THE SPEAKERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”974″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text css=””]Daniel Angus\nProf. Daniel Angus is Professor of Digital Communication in the School of Communication\, and Director of QUT’s Digital Media Research Centre.

SUMMARY:Artists’ Take on AI + the Environment
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Artists Angie Abdilla (ANU)\, Laresa Kosloff (RMIT)\, Rebecca Najdowski (RMIT) in conversation with Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris (UNSW/ADM+S).” font_container=”tag:h1|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1651551961626{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \n\n\nWhen the Buggles wrote their now infamously catchy Video Killed the Radio Star in 1979\, they were apparently inspired by J.G. Ballard’s 1960 short story The Sound-Sweep. In both works\, the protagonists are experiencing an era-defining transformation: the movement of art forms and rapid technological change. They sing\, We can’t rewind\, we’ve gone too far… The same could be said for our current moment and the rise of generative and other AI technologies. Yet very little research is asking artists about their relationship to the intersection of art\, these new automated technologies and their impacts on the natural world. \nWelcome to an evening of film screenings and artist in-conversations with leading contemporary artists Professor Angie Abdilla (ANU)\, Dr Laresa Kosloff (RMIT) and Dr Rebecca Najdowski (RMIT)\, moderated by Dr Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris (UNSW/ADM+S). Reworking the iconic synth-pop song\, this evening shares insights into how contemporary artists are responding to the emergence of artificial intelligence\, what creative practice reveals about the environmental implications of AI technologies\, and how they variously use\, avoid\, challenge and critique the environmental dimensions of AI. \nThe event at Capitol Theatre is a rare chance to see these new and critical video works\, and to hear from the artists\, Angie Abdilla\, Laresa Kosloff and Rebecca Najdowski\, directly. Drawing from recent ADM+S research on the artistic strategies and ecological dimensions of these technologies as part of the special project\, the artists will share the strategies\, artistic methodologies and creative interventions they engage to consider the ecological and creative tactics of critical engagement with AI in media art today. \nThis event is part of a study conducted by Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris and Deborah Lupton as part of the ADM+S signature project ADM\, Ecosystems and Multispecies Relationships. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Register Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#00BF63″ custom_text=”#000000″ size=”lg” align=”left” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com.au%2Fe%2Fartists-take-on-ai-and-the-environment-tickets-1999078881749%3Faff%3Doddtdtcreator%26keep_tld%3Dtrue|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1789104858797{padding-top: -35px !important;background-color: #ffd600 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”ABOUT THE SPEAKERS” font_container=”tag:h4|font_size:22px|text_align:left|color:%23ffffff|line_height:23px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”33562″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text css=””] \nAngie Abdilla\nProfessor Angie Abdilla palawa is the founder and director of Old Ways\, New. In her various roles as a strategic designer\, creative practitioner\, and consultant\, Angie advocates for Indigenous peoples\, knowledges\, and knowledge systems as foundational to technology automation through design and cultural practice. Her published research interrogates the praxis of Indigenous deeptime technologies and Artificial Intelligence\, which continue to be informed by the Indigenous Protocols and AI working group (IP//AI)\, which she co-founded. As a creative practitioner\, she works across film and video installation as an exhibiting artist. She created the company’s strategic design methodology\, Country Centered Design\, leading projects for the public and private sectors over the past decade. Angie continues to advise on the cultural and ethical affordances of automated systems and technologies internationally and locally.\n \n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”33563″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text css=””]Rebecca Najdowski\nDr Rebecca Najdowski is a Naarm (Melbourne)-based artist-researcher investigating how imaging technologies mediate nature and the climate crisis. Working with the materiality of analogue and digital processes\, she alters habitual ways of seeing – and therefore relating to – nature. Based in Naarm/Melbourne\, she is a Senior Lecturer at RMIT University where she co-leads the Imaging Futures Lab\, an international network exploring expanded imaging practices. Her work has been presented internationally\, including at Museum Belvédère (Netherlands)\, Belfast Photo Festival (Northern Ireland)\, and the Centre for Contemporary Photography (Australia).

Her practice examines representational strategies\, each one linked by an interest in the body and its agency within the everyday. Some of her projects are structured around language\, whilst others use slapstick physicality to communicate ideas. Recent projects include a series of satirical short films made from commercial stock footage purchased online. These films explore neoliberalism and corporate culture\, ecological breakdown\, the billionaire class\, artificial intelligence and the military industrial complex. Her most recent film titled ‘The Bleaching’ premiered at e-Flux Screening Room in New York in 2024. Laresa is committed to not using AI within her art practice. She is a senior lecturer in RMIT School of Art and is represented by Sutton Gallery in Naarm.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_single_image image=”27829″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”3/4″ offset=”vc_col-xs-6″][vc_column_text css=””]Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris\nDr Bronwyn Bailey-Charteris is an Australian and Swedish curator\, writer and researcher with expertise in eco-aesthetics and specialisation in water.
