All Analogue

In an age of constant interruption, choosing where we direct our attention may be one of the most radical acts of all. But attention is only the beginning.

Across science, culture, nature and human behaviour, we explore what analogue ways of being continue to offer: opportunities to connect, belong, create, adapt and experience the world around us.

Matt Formston AM, GAICD

A world champion surfer and cyclist, Australian Paralympian and trust and leadership expert, Matt Formston has built a career around navigating the world without sight. As the subject of the Netflix documentary The Blind Sea, he draws on his experience surfing twelve-metre waves and competing at the highest level to bring a powerful perspective on the ways we can tune into what we hear, feel and sense beyond the noise around us.

Professor Kelly-Ann Allen

Professor of Belonging Science at Monash University, Kelly-Ann Allen is a DECRA Fellow and dual-qualified Educational and Developmental Psychologist and Clinical Psychologist. Her research explores the fundamental human need for connection, bringing a deeper understanding of what happens when we create the time, space and presence for meaningful relationships, community and a genuine sense of belonging. 

Professor Stephen Gaunson

Associate Professor in Cinema Studies at RMIT University, Professor Stephen Gaunson is a cinema studies scholar whose work spans Australian film history, screen culture and cinema industries. Through his research and work with the Friends of the National Film & Sound Archive, he brings a perspective on the power of shared stories and collective experiences, and what makes experiencing cinema together different from consuming culture alone and on demand.

Together, these unique perspectives and ideas invite us to unravel the threads that connect us to human nature; allowing us to briefly ground ourselves with simplicity, and reflect on what we want to carry forward.

Some of the best idea exchanges and experiences exist in the moment; in a room filled with curious and courageous minds. No noise. All Analogue.

This is an evening where you simply have to be there.
