24.01.2022 Comedian and documentary maker Lawrence Leung is obsessed with the unknown. From tackling the Rubiks Cube to investigating the claims of so-called psychics and ghosthunters in his documentary series Unbelievable (ABC1), Lawrence has always been driven by curiosity. But the conclusion and answers arent the best part of tackling the unknown - its in the figuring out. In this Secular Sermon, Leung argues that the not knowing of something is the catalyst that drives human endeavour, science and some less desired outcomes. He will guide you on a journey of critical thinking and a-ha moments as he presents fascinating and funny hoaxes, conundrums, illusions - and downright lies. http://www.thatsmelbourne.com.au//7d08458c-a4e7-4a4f-8140-
20.01.2022 ACMI's new Chief Experience Officier speaks on his new role. The rise of GPS technology, social media and smartphones has seen museums the world over race to make their shows more engaging. The Museum of Old and New Art in Hobart, for instance, pioneered ‘The O’, a pre-loaded iPod Touch that tracks visitors around the gallery and serves information (or as it prefers to call it, art wank) about nearby artworks. Major international institutions such as The Met are reportedly experimenting with Facebook’s so-hot-right-now virtual-reality platform, Oculus Rift. https://www.broadsheet.com.au//engineering-better-experien
