    cardiCast 94 – Ray Langenfelds: Kennaook/Cape Grim Air Archive

    Our special series on bespoke and unusual GLAM collections continues, with Ray Langenfelds from CSIRO’s Aspendale atmospheric science laboratories.

    Ray spoke with Hugh Rundle about the Kennaook/Cape Grim Air Archive – how it started, the surprising back-story of the canisters used to store the original samples, and why this very unusual archive is so important to global science.

    Bend, blend, blur or break society’s binary codes as part of BREAK THE BINARIES. Installations from local and international artists will present a playful and kaleidoscopic view of identity and genders, and their relationship with science, technology, culture, race, sexuality and creativity. With collaboration at its heart, this exhibition will create connections and conversation through personal perspectives, interdisciplinary creative practice and research at The University of Melbourne.

    Science Gallery Melbourne is part of the Global Science Gallery Network and entry is free.
