Land Art Generator
Second Edition
The future we envision is one in which we are surrounded by the most diverse ecosystem of renewable energy technologies and landscapes, each a reflection of local culture and context.
In this future, where you will be surrounded by beautiful renewable energy generators, you will surely need a guidebook in order to know if that thing that you find so beautiful is a semiconductor-based artificial photosynthetic cell, a piezoelectric generator, a triboelectric fabric, or a dyesensitized solar cell.
What is the future that you would like to see? Use this book and design your own renewable energy landscapes!

Creative Victoria has released the Audience Atlas of Victoria
The Audience Atlas 2019 reports on Victorians’ appetite for arts and cultural experiences and these insights will be used to build the overall strength and sustainability of the sector.
Commissioned by Creative Victoria, the study tells us who is attending what cultural event, who wants to attend more, and why they go. With so much data on all sectors of the creative industry, the Atlas provides Victorian arts organisations with a powerful tool to help grow their audiences and supporters.
More than 4,000 Victorians (aged 16+) participated in the study from across the general population. Victorians love the arts! 93% of Victorians - or 4.4 million people - attend or want to attend arts and cultural events.

The new @auscouncilarts Arts and Culture Governance Report is very useful reading. Why is diversity going backwards? Why aren’t boards reflecting critically on their performance or regularly on their CEOs? Governance is always dynamic, never set-and-forget https://www.australiacouncil.gov.au/research/arts-and-culture-governance-report
