Australian Network for Art and Technology

The Australian Network for Art and Technology (ANAT) expedites experimentation and innovation across art, science and technology by identifying opportunities and delivering projects that enable artists to contribute meaningfully to Australia’s reputation for creativity, diversity and innovation.

ANAT is the early adopter of the Australian arts sector. They introduce artists to new experiences, with partners drawn from areas with limited exposure to the transformative power of the arts. They do the trial and error R&D so that others don’t need to. They channel experimental artists and those working with emerging forms into the broader arts sector.

ANAT understands that experimentation is the bedrock of innovation and that harnessing diverse perspectives and knowledge is central to Australia’s research future. Collaboration is in ANAT’s DNA. They forge relationships across industry, academia, the community and government to create unique opportunities for artists. They deliver residencies, symposia, workshops and other professional pathways, supported by robust national and international networks.
