    DECOLONISING THE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AS CULTURAL PRACTICE AS CULTURAL TECHNOLOGY DECOLONISING THE DIGITAL 146 THALU TYSON MOWARIN (VIRTUAL REALITY) The world of Thalu is brought to life through Virtual Reality (VR), in otherworldly surroundings guided by the concept art of cult favourite and graphic artist, Stuart Campbell. The VR experience is a dazzling series of linked worlds filled with fantastical, high contrast, neon-lit Australian landscapes and wildlife. ‘Thalu’ in the Ngarluma language means, ‘totem’. However, the English word cannot fully describe the layers of meaning that “thalu” conveys to the Ngarluma people. The ‘thalu’ in Mowarin’s virtual reality experience is a spiritual doorway that connects two realms and transports the participant into the Spirit World, where they will meet Jirri Jirri, their guide. Jirri Jirri will show audiences the spirits of the elements, land, flora, and fauna, and teach them about how these spirits and environments are connected to humankind. Launching on the HTC Vive, Thalu: The Buried VR is a uniquely Indigenous Australian experience that showcases the powerful storytelling of the Ngarluma people of Western Australia. TYSON MOWARIN Creator / Cross-media storyteller A Ngarluma man, Tyson Mowarin, is an experienced filmmaker, writer, producer, director, photographer and cinematographer; and owner of Weerianna Street Media. Mowarin’s other projects include the Welcome to Country iPhone app, an extensively researched information portal and archive of Welcome to Country videos and messages.

  • After the Thylacine: in Pursuit of Cinematic and Literary Improvised Encounters with the Extinct
    Liminalities: A Journal of Performance Studies Vol. 14, No. 1 (2018) After the Thylacine: In Pursuit of Cinematic and Literary Improvised Encounters with the Extinct Nicholas Chare Introduction: Tainted Evidence A coughing bark was one of its forms of vocal expression.1 Or, more precisely, coughing bark is how one of its forms of vocal expression has been styled, part- imitated, translated into words; circumscribed for the purposes of description, classification, possession and preservation. The coughing bark, carrying under- tones of canine sickness, refers to a non-human vocalisation, a vocalisation made by Thylacinus cynocephalus, otherwise known as the thylacine or the Tasmanian tiger. This non-human animal, a carnivorous marsupial, was officially declared extinct by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature in 1982. It was also acknowledged as extinct by the Tasmanian Government in 1986. Alt- hough the thylacine was once native to mainland Australia and Papua New Guinea it likely died out in those regions around 2000 years ago and the animal is therefore most associated with the island of Tasmania where a relictual popu- lation survived into the twentieth-century.2 The last officially recorded thylacine in Tasmania, commonly referred to as “Benjamin”, died at Hobart Zoo in 1936.3 Nicholas Chare is Associate Professor of Modern Art in the Department of History of Art and Film Studies at the Université de Montréal. He is the co-author (with Dominic Williams) of Matters of Testimony: Interpreting the Scrolls of Auschwitz (2016) and the author of After Francis Bacon: Synaesthesia and Sex in Paint (2012). He has also co-edited (with Ika Willis) a special issue of the journal parallax on the theme of Trans-: Across/Beyond (2016).

  • Sbs Submission to the Department of Infrastructure, Transport
    SBS SUBMISSION TO THE DEPARTMENT OF INFRASTRUCTURE, TRANSPORT, REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNICATIONS SUPPORTING AUSTRALIAN STORIES ON OUR SCREENS – OPTIONS PAPER JULY 2020 The Special Broadcasting Service Corporation (SBS) appreciates the opportunity to submit to Screen Australia and the Australian Communications and Media Authority (the ACMA), regarding the Supporting Australian Stories on Our Screens—Options Paper (the Options Paper), as part of the Government’s consultation on options to support Australian stories on our screens in a modern, multi-platform environment (the Consultation). For over 40 years, SBS has developed compelling and thought-provoking content that tells the stories of a truly diverse Australia. SBS content is delivered free across broadcast and online platforms to all Australians in multiple languages. As part of SBS, National Indigenous Television (NITV) continues to deliver cultural benefits to audiences through its distinctive content and landmark events. NITV creates inspiring storytelling for all Australians, sharing trusted children’s content, news and current affairs, sport and entertainment programming through an Indigenous lens. There is a pressing need to review the current regulatory framework governing the production and communication of Australian stories and SBS is uniquely placed to play an even greater role in supporting the production of high-quality Australian content, if additional funding is made available to SBS to commission additional Australian stories untold by other media. The Options Paper sets out a broad spectrum of potential reforms. SBS does not endorse any of the proposed models as written in the Options Paper, but Option 3 with a number of variations, as outlined in this submission, is preferred.
