ARLIS/ANZ 2018 Conference Day 2 afternoon

During lunch (where I was pleasantly surprised by the presence of sandwiches that didn't have cheese and tomato in them - two ingredients I have to avoid and which are very difficult to avoid), I visited the bookshop and James Turrell's Skyspace.

James Turrell Skyspace (detail) - I love the reflection.

After lunch, some delegates went to the AGM and others toured some of the exhibitions. As a chapter president, I went to the AGM. The afternoon session resumed with Peta Jane Blessing.

Trialled beacons & data capture pens but no thnks. They also make everyone look at their phones. #ARLISANZ2018

Instead looked for works that entailed sound & music & found related archival recirdings to match them #ARLISANZ2018

You'll notice a lot of typos in these tweets - getting towards the end of conference and I was getting tired.

Duncan was the last speaker for the day (not a great spot, but he did a great job). Although these tweets give only a brief flavour of the papers (some briefer than others), all of the papers will go online at the ARLIS/ANZ website, along with the slides and audio recordings of the presentations. As for the delegates, some left that evening and some the next day. I was one of the ones who left the next day.
