Drawing on several years of practice-led inquiry and professional experience as a freelance motion capture technician, it examines the lived experience of performance within these hybrid spaces. The discussion will focus on how actors and other creative practitioners navigate the perceptual, spatial, and social challenges of working in digitally mediated environments, offering new insights into immersion, embodiment, and the evolving relationships between people and technology in contemporary screen production.All are welcome! BioJoel Bennett is a Lecturer in Digital Media and Game Development at UC.

Speaker: Ernest KohDate\Time: Thursday 26 March 2026, 12:30-13:30Location: Building 1 Level A Room 1A21, University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ (NB Room 1a21 is accessed from the foyer joining Building 1 and Mizzuna café); or Zoom: http://zoom.us/j/95029077504 AbstractDuring the Second World War, the Australian military relied on a sizeable contingent of Asian workers who were already present in Australia to fill labour shortfalls and key gaps in combat expertise. At the end of the conflict, the Commonwealth government sought to deport these workers under the framework of the White Australia Policy, to uneven levels of success. This paper maps the experiences of Australia’s Asian troops during and after the Second World War, and how their plight intersected with a gradual but noticeable erosion of public support for White Australia in the postwar period.All are welcome! BioErnest is an historian with the Faculty of Arts and Design at the University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥. Originally from Singapore, he has previously held research fellowships at the University of Washington and Beijing University, and is the author and editor of several books, including Diaspora at War, Oral History and Memory in Southeast Asia, and The Pacific War. He has also helped write and produce several documentaries, including the Emmy-nominated programme The Exiles(with Tom St John Gray).The Culture and Creativity Seminar Series is hosted by the Centre for Cultural and Creative Research (CCCR), Faculty of Arts and Design, University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥.

The future of air travel is coming, powered by this homegrown collaboration.Project Sunrise is Qantas’ bold leap into the future of ultra-long-haul travel, backed by evidence-based research by scientists at the Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney.This bold project has transformed fundamental discoveries about circadian biology into real-life impact – reimagining in-flight lighting, movement, nutrition and sleep to reduce jet lag and improve travellers' wellbeing with scientifically measurable benefits.Their research has informed the design of next-generation aircraft, built with futuristic cabin features helping passengers arrive more rested, alert, and ready to go.In conversation with ABC ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥'s Lish Fejer, we’ll hear from two leaders of the project:Vanessa Hudson is Qantas Group CEO and Managing Director. She is leading the airline towards Project Sunrise take-off, with the first flights scheduled for 2027.Professor Stephen Simpson AC FAA FRS is leading the team of researchers from Charles Perkins Centre, using real-world passenger data to enhance the in-flight experience and inform the next generation of specially designed ultra-long-range aircraft.This event is for everyone including students, professionals, academics, policymakers, lifelong learners, and those simply curious about how science is shaping our future.
