ANAT SPECTRA 2025: Reciprocity is a three-day gathering designed to spark curiosity, foster co-creation, and inspire transformative arts practice. It brings together artists, makers, scientists, and technologists from diverse fields with a shared interest in collaboration, discovery, and meaningful connection.
The Australian Network of Art and Technology (ANAT), in partnership with the University of the Sunshine Coast (UniSC), will host ANAT SPECTRA 2025 :: Reciprocity on Kabi Kabi Country, in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Reserve from 2 to 4 October.
ANAT’s triennial event showcases extraordinary interdisciplinary art practice and creative research produced through collaborations between Australian artists, scientists, and technologists.
Reciprocity centres on building relationships through cycles of giving and receiving. It fosters care, ethical collaboration, and meaningful exchange within creative practice. This theme invites reflection on the impact of our work and encourages practitioners to consider how reciprocal approaches can shape and inform creative ideas.
TICKETS ARE NOW AVAILABLE for the triennial gathering, showcasing groundbreaking interdisciplinary art practice.
