2003 :: Synapse

From 2003 to 2006, ANAT partnered with the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Artspace and Patrick Systems and Technology on an Australia Council / Australian Research Council ‘Synapse’ initiative that encouraged multidisciplinary Linkage Grant applications. This project enabled new media artist Mari Velonaki to take up a three-year postdoctoral research position at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR), University of Sydney. Mari headed a team that worked with ACFR investigators Dr David Rye, Steve Scheding and Stefan Williams to develop a new interactive artwork Fish-Bird: Autonomous Interaction in a Contemporary Arts Setting.
