Nearly every Australian engages with arts and culture. Politicians should pay attention Governments at all levels often assume arts funding is not electorally popular. New data shows they are wrong.

Thanks to everyone who made Overthrow the Algorithm such an awesome event. Pete Strong, you are a legend. Charlie McMahon, it's an honour to have you play, every time. Al the Tortuga crew that make these nights work – thank you. And every artist who challenged the power of algorithmic control. Nailed it, each of you.

Standout works from Justin Maynard, whose work Broken Machine invites you to have a chat with AI characters on the edge of society, characters whose conversations are outside society's definition of ‘safe’.

Brian P's baked beans, featuring Australia's very own Mango Mussolini.

And Dillon MacEwan's BugEye'd camera creations, my personal favourites.

Tiny microcosms of life...
Is moss the ultimate rebel?

We are more similar than we are different...

🌍✨ *We Are More Similar Than Different* — a powerful new sculpture by French-Australian jeweller *Pierre Cavalan*. This spinning globe, formed from interlocking *metal faces*, turns gently on a base of an *Art Deco n**e goddess* stronger than Atlas— symbol of universal beauty, strength, and vulnerability. Each face is unique, yet together they form one planet, one shared humanity. A poetic reminder: in a world obsessed with division, *our common essence unites us*. #PierreCavalan #ArtJewellery #Sculpture #WeAreMoreSimilarThanDifferent #ContemporaryArt #GlobalHumanity #MetalArt #frenchaustralianartist #contemporaryjewelleryartists #newjewelry #design #inspiration #frenchjewelry #frenchartist #atlas #artdeco #artnouveau

The moment the system can fully predict you, it can replace you.

Featuring the work of some of Sydney’s most subversive artists, Overthrow the Algorithm explores the counter moves required to resist the psychological terrain of algorithmic control. It urges us to break the feedback loop, to work together, embrace the idea of unknowability, and fight for a new sense of freedom.
