That’s a wrap for my first AusSTS conference @aussts.bsky.social! Talked about COVID conspiracy theories in the Philippines—always fun!—and moving beyond thinking about them as mere ‘unscientific noise’. Naarm has been swell, but this weather is something else.

Fantastic keynote panel session this morning on Infrastructures of Noise at #AusSTS2025 #SignalsAndNoises. Will share notes at end of week, key pieces that resonated were the way that loudspeakers as speech technology shape our cultures and rituals - Dang Nguyen.

Really enjoyed @digitaldang.bsky.social’s talk on loudspeakers in the Vietnamese context. The especially evocative ‘fish sauce and exhaust’ phrase encapsulating the urban streetscape was a deliciously poetic highlight 💚 📢 #signalsandnoises #AusSTS2025

And now @katemannell.bsky.social on the endlessly noisy landscape of parenting advice as symptomatic of the dovetailing between contemporary recommender algorithms and the professionalization of the side-hustle #signalsandnoises

Our second speaker @digitaldang.bsky.social with a genealogy of the loud speakers, from the colonial hauntology of the gramophone, to the intimate interior life of the radio, to the speakers that lined the Bến Hải river during the Vietnam war to broadcast communist propaganda #signalsandnoises

Our first speaker is @ranjodhdhaliwal.com with a series of vignettes on computation and heat, from the air conditioning of the ENIAC, to Steve Jobs hatred of the noise of the GPU fan, and the introduction of perlin noise into CGI images #signalsandnoises

Heads up to everyone who submitted their fantastic abstracts to #Signalsandnoises - letters and registration details are coming soon. We're at capacity (bursting, really) and very delighted about this. The juggle to fit in all this goodness is causing some delays - apologies!
