In association with the Experimental Art Foundation, ANAT hosted an artist’s talk in December by visiting French artist Stephan Barron.

Barron elucidated on his research trips in Australia and Europe, outlining recent projects and his forthcoming installations Night and Day and Ozone as part of the Telstra Adelaide Festival. These two projects are a continuation of Barron’s exploration of telecommunication technologies, geography and distance. Night and Day was described as an interactive telematic installation, mapping the skies and translating Ultra Violet light readings and video imagery into sound and colour to calculate the average colour of the skies of Adelaide and Sao Paulo in Brazil. Ozone is a meditation on the ozone layer, planetary independence, immateriality and telecommunications.
