Where do AI generated imagery fall in the world of art? In September 2022, Jason M. Allen controversially won first prize in the Colorado State Fair's "digital arts/digitally-manipulated photography" competition. This event sparked a growing debate in the art world and on social media over the legitimacy of AI generated artwork. Many artists are calling foul on AI art, and are vehemently opposed to its inclusion in the arts on both creative and legal grounds. However, controversy always follows new technology, one only has to take a look at the last century to see similar fierce opposition to photography's standing as "legitimate" art. To unpack the issue surrounding AI art, I spoke to someone with their foot in both worlds. Dr. Sara Oscar is a photographer and Senior Lecturer at UTS's School of Design. Her research specialises in the cultural impacts of AI and deep neural networks. Hopefully, she can shine some light on the question 'Is AI Art, 'art'?

Does your robot trust you? As research hastens to making Brain-Computer Interfaces between robots and human a reality, we ought to examine the cultural significance behind it. We must consider the definition of “trust” and how it can be applied to an interface between a robot and a human. We can easily understand how much a human trusts a robot, but have you ever considered if a robot can trust a human? Can we even consider it at all? Cameron M. Furlong investigates.

What do authors think about when they're writing a book about cities for kids? And why are books about cities and urban life important for kids? Dallas chats with kids book illustrator James Gulliver Hancock and Alexandra Crosby and Jesse Stein from UTS about kids, books and cities. We cover a lot of ground, from what it's like to be an author to being a reader, parent and urbanist. Guests James Gulliver Hancock stylishly illustrated the popular book How Cities Work 1 (How Things Work). This innovative book for younger readers is packed with city facts, loads of flaps to lift, and unfolding pages to see inside buildings and under the streets. Children aged 5+ can learn about skyscrapers, subway systems and stinky sewers. Discover where people live and peek behind closed doors to see what's going on in houses and apartments, or why not find out about what goes on underneath the streets you walk on every day? Dr Alexandra Crosby is an internationally recognised scholar and visual communicator with an interest in expanding design practice. Her current body of research is focused on more-than-human design and recombinant ecologies in urban environments. Here, she explores the relationships between plants and people, revealing the systems and ecologies that will be critical to overcoming the impacts of climate change on our cities. Key projects include Mapping Edges, a transdisciplinary research studio in partnership with Associate Professor Ilaria Vanni Accarigi that uses permaculture design principles to create sustainable systems within urban environments. Repair Design, a collaboration with UTS researcher Dr Jesse Adams Stein, is another major piece of work that embeds repair practices and designing for zero waste at the core of traditional design disciplines. Dr Jesse Adams Stein is a Senior Lecturer and ARC DECRA Fellow at the UTS School of Design. She is an interdisciplinary design researcher specialising in the relationship between technology, work and material culture. Her research shifts between historical and contemporary contexts and focuses on the quieter and less fashionable aspects of design: industrial craft, manufacturing, repair, skill loss and the human experience of economic restructuring and deindustrialisation. Stein was awarded an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Early Career Research Fellowship (DECRA), commenced July 2021, and is currently investigating the project “Makers, Manufacturers & Designers: Connecting Histories”, a project that brings together design histories with manufacturing, production and technical education, in the Australian context.

How do you know when we're in a global recession? Well, there's no precise rule but the economies of China, US and Europe are all facing challenges and uncertainties making forecasting difficult. And as Harvard Professor of Economics Kenneth Rogoff, says, we'll know when we are in one. And this doesn't bode well for Australia where long term forecasts are showing budget deficits. With election spending promises, neither side of politics is mentioning major reform that most economists know is a major requirement. The ABC's financial journalist and editor in chief of the Eureka Report Alan Kohler discusses. And manufacturing. We've all seen the images of Scott Morrison and Anthony Albanese in high viz, but what are they planning and is it enough? Jesse Adams Stein, senior lecturer and ARC DECRA fellow at the UTS School of Design talks through the possibilities.

Crypto is here to stay. Individuals, businesses and banks have all jumped on board - so its time to ask some simple questions. Do we pay tax on crypto? If so, when? And in an ever-evolving, technologically driven, decentralised world - how will tax authorities keep up? Guests: Roman Lanis - Associate Professor from the UTS School of Accounting and Shane Brunette - Founder of Sydney-based tech start-up Crypto Tax Calculator.

The technological capabilities of 3D printers continue to advance. In this episode, we explore the capability of 3D bio-printing, the printing of biological structures, such as heart tissue, bones, and skin. Could 3D printed heart tissue replace heart transplants in the future? What hurdles are there to implementing this technology in hospitals in Australia?Featured:Dr Carmine Gentile, lecturer at UTS School of Biomedical Engineering, group leader of the cardiovascular regeneration group at the University of Technology Sydney and the University of SydneyAssociate Professor Payal Mukherjee, an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) surgeon, ENT lead for research from Royal Prince Alfred’s Institute of Academic Surgery, Clinical Associate Professor of surgery at the University of Sydney, Adjunct Professor at the University of Wollongong and the current chair of the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons NSW.Professor Matthew Rimmer, Professor of intellectual property and innovation at the Queensland University of Technology.Presenter/Producer: Marlene EvenMusic: Epidemic SoundSound: 3D bio-printer recording, by Dr Carmine Gentile, second recording by Associate Professor Payal Mukherjee, Professor Gordon Wallace AO, Director ARC Centre for Electromaterial Science and his team.

Transcripts:Closed worlds What do outer space capsules submarines and office buildings have in common? Each was conceived as a closed system a self-sustaining physical environment demarcated from its surroundings by a boundary that does not allow for the transfer of matter or energy. The history of 20th century architecture design and engineering has been strongly linked to the conceptualisation and production of closed systems. As partial reconstructions of the world in time and in space closed systems identify and secure the cycling of materials necessary for the sustenance of life. Contemporary discussions about global warming, recycling and sustainability, have emerged as direct conceptual constructs related to the study and analysis of closed systems. From the space program, to countercultural architectural groups experimenting with autonomous living closed worlds documents a disciplinary transformation and the rise of a new environmental consensus in the form of a synthetic naturalism, where the laws of nature and metabolism are displaced from the domain of wilderness to the domain of cities and buildings. While these ideas derive from a deeply rooted fantasy of architecture producing nature, closed worlds displays their integration into the very fabric of reality in our contemporary cities and buildings. Closed worlds curated by Lydia Kalipoliti, exhibits an archive of 41 historical living prototypes from 1928 to the present that put forth an unexplored genealogy of closed resource regeneration systems. Prototypes are presented through unique discursive narratives with historical images and each includes new analysis in the form of a feedback drawing, that problematises the language of environmental representation by illustrating loss, derailment and the production of new substances and atmospheres. Each drawing displays a feedback loop wherein man's physiology of ingestion and excretion becomes the combustion device of an organisational system envisaged for humans animals and other life species. The moments of failure portrayed when closed worlds escape the designed loop, raise a series of questions about the ontology of autonomous enclosures. The exhibition archive, designed by Pentagram, showcases a timeline of the 41 prototypes that illuminates the ways in which they have contributed to the idea of net zero in our contemporary culture of sustainability. The timeline highlights the evolution of total circular resource regeneration from military research and the experiments of NASA's space program to more contemporary manifestations such as the benefits of the housing industry, countercultural practice for autonomous living in the city, nostalgia of the homesteading movement and ecological tourism and environmental capitalism. An adjacent display of speculative projects reflects upon a parallel historical narrative of enclosed spaces, figures of man and legislation related to closed systems. An expanded lexicon on environmental history derived from the study of the 41 prototypes is available online at www dot close worlds dot net. As part of this exhibition, the documentary Biospheres and The Rise of Botanical Capital. presents three large scale enclosed complexes which reproduce fully controlled sections of the natural world. The Eden Project in Cornwall,England, Amazon's New Biospheres in Seattle and the Biosphere 2 in Oracle, Arizona. Finally the closed worlds VR experience positions you as a user within a virtual diagram of two ecological houses built in the 1970s in London and Sydney. Both houses were built as laboratories and living experiments. They were occupied by their architects as part of the experiment. This exhibition was originally commissioned by the store front for art and architecture in New York in February 2016 and supported by the Graham Foundation, The New York State Council for the Arts, Syracuse University and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Its current iteration is supported by UTS art and UTs School of Architecture.

We present the second Salon on Standards hosted by the UTS School of Architecture in association with the NSW Architects Registration Board. This series invites experts in the field to discuss the standards and regulations that shape the profession of architecture in Australia. Documents like the Accreditation Procedure and Competency Standard are fundamental to architects and architecture. They provide the roadmap for how we accredit university programs, examine architects on their way to registration, right through their continuing professional development. In this episode we go back to school to discuss the professional Accreditation of architectural education, which is guided in Australia and New Zealand by the Architecture Program Accreditation Procedures. So what standards do they measure? Who’s sets it? And does that standard even matter? In this episode we are joined by Professor Sue Savage from the Queensland University of Technology, Kathlyn Loseby COO of Crone Architects, and Professor Gerard Reinmuth from the University of Technology Sydney. You can find our Primer for this event here: https://www.architects.nsw.gov.au/download/ARB%20Primer%20on%20Accreditation.pdf

Their creativity and co-operation was on display at The EcoCities World Summit. Vivien Langford talks to Professor Rob Roggema about what the Dutch have learned from living partly below sea level. Could cities work more with nature, with Sand Machines and Porous Courtyards? At a session on disaster management strategies Vivien meets Karibaiti Taoaba. She tells us how communications during and after an emergency area terrific challenge for local governments in small island states. Also foreign aid can be unhelpful “They built a clinic right where our main road used to be”. Alliances were formed at this summit to share expertise and minimise the impact of climate change. The key is to listen to the locals. It was not all about emergencies. David Holmgren talks about the profound shift needed in our relationship with nature. Instead of building more housing let’s subdivide existing huge houses, share resources and downsize our lives to fit in with the lower carbon footprint we must achieve for an equitable future. “There’s way more land in the suburbs than people with skills to farm it” Professor Rob Roggema – UTS School of Architecture on the Dutch response to sea level rise.Karibaiti Taoaba – Pacific Regional director of Commonwealth Local Government Forum on disaster reliefDavid Holmgren – Permaculture Expert on Retrofitting Suburbia for the Energy Descent FutureFurther reading:https://www.ecocity2017.com/1.
