Critical Signals (part artist lab, part civil defence rethink, part neighbourhood commons) have been working on a collaboration with Monash University’s School of Architecture. This week, they open an installation work from Narrm, led by Jacqui Alexander, called Sensing the Quarry—a work that invites us to imagine post-human landscapes.

“Sensing the Quarry is a sound and video work exploring intersections between posthuman methods and Indigenous knowledges, developed as part of a research program led by philosopher Professor Rosi Braidotti (Utrecht) and Boonwurrung Elder N’arweet Professor Carolyn Briggs AM. 

This work emerged from an eight-day laboratory situating posthuman methods at the Cape Otway Quarry on Gadubanad Country. The laboratory was based on transforming critical thought into collective action, in response to discussions about the urgent crises of climate and capital. It concerned the interdependence of human, non-human, and more-than-human entities, and the profound ethical and technological shifts needed to remediate the planet.”

The work will run from 9-20 September 2025. Open 12-7pm at Critical Signals.
