This sums up how I also feel after the wonderful @aussts.bsky.social conference this week. Thank you to all organisers and presenters 🙌🏼

Attending #AusSTS25 has left me intellectually and emotionally full—it’s one of those rare feelings in academic life where you find your people, where every conversation leaves you with more than it takes.

Presenting in the making & doing session @aussts.bsky.social was a fantastic opportunity to show and discuss the materiality of creative research.

The loveliness just won't stop! Holly O'Neil (UTS) is drawing every session she's attending, and she showed me this this morning!

A hand-drawn visual note from a talk titled “Infrastructures of Noise” presented at AusSTS. The illustration is made with red and blue pen, featuring stylised sketches of speakers (including portraits labelled Dang, Fabian, Ranjodh, Kate), computers, loudspeakers, waveforms, and snippets of handwritten quotes and thoughts.

Speaking on noise and the insurrection of subjugated unknowables.... or something like that. Hauntology and #STS. At @aussts.bsky.social 2025 meeting in Melbourne (Narrm). A very interesting meeting....

Thanks to @aussts.bsky.social for an immensely stimulating, challenging, convivial, and inspiring conference. I’m leaving #AusSTS2025 with a head full of ideas, re-energised by conversations with colleagues and kin. There is a very special STS community in the antipodes 🫶

That’s a wrap for my first AusSTS conference @aussts.bsky.social! Talked about COVID conspiracy theories in the Philippines—always fun!—and moving beyond thinking about them as mere ‘unscientific noise’. Naarm has been swell, but this weather is something else.

And finally, Warwick Anderson @wombatscholar.bsky.social on abandoning Foucault and considering noise as spectre and hauntology, generating static rather than signification, interrupting seemingly meaningless repetitions #AusSTS26 #signalandnoises

First up is Christopher O'Neill @blueskychris.bsky.social speaking on Foucault's essay "message or noise" and how the phenomenon of health and the body can be filtered through information theory #AusSTS25 #signalsandnoises
