• Depeche Mode

Aussie Depeche Mode fans are an incredibly patient bunch. The last time the British synth-pop titans toured the country was in 1994, meaning nearly three decades have passed since they last paid us a visit. But good things come to those who wait, and it seems there is a glimmer of hope for those hoping to catch the band Down Under.

In March 2023, Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan told an Italian blog that the band were eyeing “as-yet-unannounced dates in Asia and Australia” as part of a touring run that would lead into 2024. The band have toured the world in support of their latest album, ‘Memento Mori’ , and a trip to Australia to cap off the jaunt seems more likely than ever.

The Silo Art Movement is more than a visual spectacle; it is a dynamic force of transformation and rejuvenation. In its majestic strokes and grandeur lie the seeds of renewal for many towns and communities that once teetered on the brink of obscurity.

It is not just art; it is a resurrection, a new dawn that ushers in hope, economic vitality, and social resurgence.

Every mural, every painted silo is a testament to the unwavering spirit of Regional Australia. The movement transcends the boundaries of art, becoming a robust engine that drives tourism, invigorates local economies, and rekindles the social fabric of communities.

Australia’s first Art Grand Tour unites three biennials in a city-hopping trail

Australia’s Art Grand Tour showcases more than 400 artists, across Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide in a build-your-own art adventure

• Sign up to our newsletter Newsletter

Australia’s three biennials – Biennale of Sydney, Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art, and newcomer PHOTO International Festival of Photography, Melbourne – have joined forces to create the country’s first Art Grand Tour across Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, teaming up with major art events to collectively present the work of over 400 artists. 

Australia's first Art Grand Tour

Installation view of Agnieszka Pilat’s work Heterobotaon, displayed as part of NGV Triennial 2023 , until 7 April 2024 at NGV International, Melbourne

The Art Grand Tour is a build-your-own art adventure that will see locals and visitors moving between the three cities. It kicked off at the end of February 2024, with the Melbourne Art Fair presenting solo shows and artist commissions from 60 of the region’s leading galleries and Indigenous art centres, and is followed by PHOTO 2024 International Festival of Photography on 1 March. 

Dedicated to contemporary practice, the photography biennial is marking its third edition. Addressing the theme The Future Is Shaped by Those Who Can See It , PHOTO 2024 features a trail of 100 free exhibitions and large-scale outdoor installations across Melbourne with artists including Ryan McGinley, Cao Fei , Omar Victor Diop, Carmen Winant and Edward Burtynsky . This year, PHOTO also celebrates three icons, Nan Goldin , Malick Sidibé and Rennie Ellis.

Installation view of Fernando Laposse’s work Conflict Avocados , on display in NGV Triennial until 7 April 2024, at NGV International, Melbourne

In Melbourne, the Art Grand Tour incorporated new commissions and works by 120 artists for NGV Triennial (opened in December and running until 7 April 2024) – with Yoko Ono , Elmgreen & Dragset and Tracey Emin amongst others – as well as MPavilion 10 by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Tadao Ando , an architectural commission of concrete minimalist perfection in Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Gardens.

In South Australia, the 18th Adelaide Biennial of Australian Art opens concurrently on 1 March. Curated by José Da Silva and titled Inner Sanctum , the biennial showcases 24 artists and poets across exhibitions, performances and talks that explore our engagement with the world and each other. The Adelaide Biennial is part of the Adelaide Festival. Curated by artistic director Ruth Mackenzie CBE, and chief executive Kath M Mainland CBE, 2024’s Adelaide Festival features 64 events including Australian Premieres by Marina Abramović, Laurie Andersen and Víkingur Ólafsson. 

Installation view of Dunne & Raby’s work Designs for a World of Many Worlds: After the Festival , 2023, on display as part of NGV Triennial until 7 April 2024 at NGV International, Melbourne

The Biennale of Sydney opens to the public on 9 March and its 50th anniversary year is led by artistic directors Cosmin Costinaș and Inti Guerrero. Under the theme Ten Thousand Suns , dynamic artworks, large-scale installations and site-specific projects by 88 artists and collectives from 47 countries will be presented across a number of landmark galleries including, for the first time, at the recently restored White Bay Power Station. In association with the biennale, the Sydney Opera House will be illuminated every night after sunset with artwork projected onto its sails. 

Installation view of Betty Muffler’s work Ngangkari Ngura (Healing Country) , on display as part of NGV Triennial until April 2024 at NGV International, Melbourne

Visitors to Sydney will also be able to see the exhibition ‘Louise Bourgeois: Has the Day Invaded the Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day?’ , the artist’s largest survey to date in Australia and the first monographic exhibition staged in the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ new SANAA-designed building, Sydney Modern .

Rhana Devenport, director, Art Gallery of South Australia, is one arts leader planning to visit all three cities. ‘It’s a rare opportunity to experience these exemplary gatherings of art that push boundaries, and alter your perceptions, and create new memories,’ she says. With international curators and collectors jetting into Australia for this art extravaganza, the Art Grand Tour marks a distinct turning point for the country’s relationship with the global arts community.

Biennale of Sydney, multiple venues, 9 March  – 10 June 2024 Adelaide Biennale of Australian Art, Art Gallery of South Australia, 1 March – 2 June 2024 The Melbourne Art Fair ran from 22 – 25 February 2024 NGV Triennial, NGV International, until 7 April 2024

Handsome Tours & Astral People are pleased to present Sainté !

Sainté may be from Leicester, but his sound carries an undeniable West Coast vibe. He has been making waves in the UK’s competitive rap scene since the world first tasted his talents in 2019 with the release of “Envy Me”. 

From his early days working at Nando’s to his first viral hit “champagne shots” which epitomises his artistry: strikingly confident, hilariously wiry, and undeniably cool. The success led to his breakthrough debut EP, “Local MVP.” Flipping the script once more with 2024’s mixtape, “Still Local”, a multi-faceted project that delivers  Sainté’s  signature sound. Pushing the limits of UK rap, his music is a genuine exploration of experimentation, spiced up with hints of jazz, hip-hop, and R&B. With a listening palette as diverse as his influences, he’s been redefining the rap game whilst keeping everyone on their toes.

Paul will bring his acclaimed Got Back tour to Europe this December!

Fulfilling his promise to 'get back', Paul will return to France, Spain and the UK with his Got Back  tour. Earlier this month, Paul announced his first live shows of 2024 with the next leg of the tour launching in South America this October.  

With songs like ‘Hey Jude’, ‘Live and Let Die’, ‘Band on the Run’,  ‘Let It Be’ and so many more, the Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show: hours of the greatest moments from the last 60 years of music – dozens of songs from Paul’s solo, Wings and of course Beatles catalogues that have formed the soundtracks of our lives.

This will mark Paul’s first European show since his iconic Glastonbury headlining performance in 2022. Hailed as “one of the greatest gigs of all time” by The Times and “a masterclass from the greatest living cultural figure in this country’s history” by The i, it was also Paul and his band’s 500th show together! These dates will see McCartney return for his first live performance in Paris in six years - in 2018 he played at La Defense Arena, where he is making his return. The wait has been longer for Spaniards, where he last played eight years ago, in 2016 at Estadio Vincente Calderon.

Paul launched his Got Back tour in 2022, completing 16 huge shows across the US before performing his history-making set at Glastonbury in June 2022. In 2023 Paul performed 18 incredible shows as the Got Back tour rocked through Australia, Mexico and Brazil.

News An artist’s surreal view of Australia — created from satellite data

Digital Earth Australia is proud to work with artist Grayson Cooke, whose interpretation of Landsat satellite imagery is opening up new perspectives on our planet.

Last updated: 18 June 2024

Home Geoscience Australia > Scientific topics > Digital Earth Australia > DEA news and updates > An artist’s surreal view of Australia — created from satellite data An artist’s surreal view of Australia — created from satellite data

There are more than 4,800 satellites orbiting Earth. They bristle with sensors — trained towards Earth and into space — recording and transmitting many different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.

Governments and media corporations rely on the data these satellites collect, but artists use it too, as a new way to image and view the Earth.

I work with Geoscience Australia and the Digital Earth Australia (DEA) platform to produce time-lapse images and video of Australian landforms using satellite data.

My Open Air project, produced through a collaboration with Australian painter Emma Walker and the music of The Necks , features macro-photography of Emma Walker's paintings set against time-lapse satellite imagery of Australia.

Open access to satellite data

We see satellites as moving pin-pricks in the night sky, or occasionally – as with the return to Earth of the Chinese Tiangong space station – as streaks of light. And most us would have heard about satellite data being used for surveillance, for GPS tracking, and for media broadcasting.

But artists can divert satellite data away from a purely instrumental approach. They can apply it to produce new ways of seeing, understanding, and feeling the Earth.

The thousands of satellites winging their way around the Earth represent power and possibility, a chance to look again at the intersection between humankind and a changing planet.

Of course satellites are expensive to launch and maintain. The main players are either powerful corporate providers, enormous public sector agencies like NASA and the European Space Agency (ESA), or private sector startups with links to these groups.

Luckily, many of these agencies make their data freely available to the public.

The NASA/United States Geological Survey Landsat program makes 40 years of Earth imaging data available through Earth Explorer. The ESA provides data from their Sentinel satellites to users of the Copernicus Open Access Hub.

In Australia, Geoscience Australia’s DEA platform provides researchers and the public with access to Australian satellite data from a range of agencies.

Understanding and processing the data

Making satellite imaging data accessible, though, is not the same thing as making it usable. There is considerable technical know-how required to process satellite data.

The Landsat and Sentinel satellites are used by scientists and the private sector to monitor environmental change over time, using what is known as 'remote sensing'. They travel in the low Earth orbit range, around 700 km above the Earth, and circle the Earth in around 90 minutes. After numerous orbits, they return to the exact same spot every 16 days.

Landsat and Sentinel satellites are equipped with sensors that record reflected electromagnetic radiation in a range of wavelengths. Some of these wavelengths fall within the visible light part of the spectrum (between 390–700 nanometers). In that sense, satellites image the Earth in a way comparable to a digital camera.

But the satellites also record other wavelengths, particularly in the near and shortwave infrared range. Vegetation, water and geological formations reflect and absorb infrared light differently to visible light. Recording these wavelengths allows scientists to track, for instance, changes in vegetation density or surface water location that indicate drought, flood or fire.

A single satellite image is made up of numerous bands recording data in very specific wavelengths. Getting a full-colour image requires processing in a Geographic Information System (GIS) to combine them, and assign the bands to either red, green, or blue in an output image.

Bringing creativity to the data

This is where creativity can enter the picture. Being able to create false colour images that combine infrared and visible light in different ways allows me to produce beautifully surreal images of Australian landforms.

The image below shows the variance in environmental conditions over 12 months in 2016 at the Stirling Range National Park in WA.

Because geoscientists need clear images of the Earth’s surface to analyse, they filter clouds from the data. I chose to take the opposite approach, highlighting the incredible array of meteorological conditions experienced by the country.

There are many other artists working with satellite data. Clement Valla’s ‘Postcards from Google Earth’ focuses on glitches in Google’s mapping algorithm, and bio-artist Suzanne Anker uses satellite imaging to produce extruded 3D environments in petri dishes. Working with the Nevada Museum of Art, photographer Trevor Paglen will launch the Orbital Reflector satellite as an inflatable, visible sculpture, a prompt for wonder and reflection.

Artists place satellite data and usage in new contexts. They question surveillance practices and expose scientific tools and representations to new audiences outside science and the private sector.

Grayson Cooke is Associate Professor and Chair of Creative Arts at Southern Cross University. His Open Air project has continued to receive accolades and awards, including the prestigious Waterhouse Natural Science Art Prize at the South Australian Museum in December 2020.

Fantasy baseball: It may be time to trade Garrett Crochet

• View Author Archive

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

As we approach the MLB All-Star break, the proverbial midpoint of the fantasy baseball season, teams in the top half of your league standings are likely sending out offers to bolster their rosters for a second-half push.

Trading can often be difficult as too many people are still trying to “win the trade,” but that doesn’t mean you stop dealing altogether.

You can still sell high on a number of players, especially if they fill a specific need for your opponent/trade partner.

With offensive production down and MLB sitting in another proverbial “dead ball era,” fantasy managers have focused more on the pitching.

We know wins can be an arbitrary category, so most of the attention is on strikeouts, low ratios and even saves.

If you have closers to trade, then start there, but if not, selling high on good starting pitchers, who might be shut down later in the season, is the way to go.

In a time when starting pitchers are continuously having their innings monitored, there are great opportunities to trade away a hurler who might be reaching his limit.

Garrett Crochet of the White Sox is the perfect example.

The 25-year-old southpaw has outstanding numbers, a 3.25 ERA with a 0.95 WHIP and 12.59 K/9, but also has thrown more innings than he ever has in a professional season.

Crochet has garnered all kinds of comparisons to a vintage Chris Sale.

Everything was lining up perfectly for him until 2022, when he needed Tommy John surgery.

Following his recovery, he threw a total of 25 innings in 2023, and this season he already is up to 88.2. Most pitchers coming back from Tommy John have an innings cap to protect their arms and the team’s investment.

Crochet is on a one-year deal, so the White Sox aren’t concerned with his workload and are likely showcasing him for a deal.

Should Crochet stay with Chicago and try to renegotiate, the team likely will shut him down as it isn’t going to even sniff a wild-card berth.

If the White Sox trade him, he is going to be expected to do what he is doing now in the second half, and October is a long way away.

Do you want to be the one holding the bag when the bottom falls out?

Trading him for assets to help you win this year is a must.

Crochet isn’t the only one, either. You can probably say the same thing for Jordan Hicks, Ben Brown and even Paul Skenes if the Pirates fall out of contention.

Offering up names like this will make your competition salivate and earn you Trade Partner of the Year awards. It is a long way to the finish line, so make sure you’ve got the right horses to get you there.
