Kim Marriot leads the Monash Assistive Technology and Society Centre at Monash Uni and has an ongoing interest in the way data visualisation can be sued by people who are blind or have low vision. That’s why there’s a chapter about it in the book he’s just written – The Golden Age of Data Visualisation: How Did We Get Here?

Meanwhile, in Japan, singer/songwriter Laurier Tiernan (who we met some time ago as one half of the group Nature Airliner) has just released Descending, a new album – except that it’s not really – it’s actually his very first solo album re-released after twenty years.

Back in Naarm/Melbourne it’s time for our annual visit to the Koorie Art Show with Gail Harradine at the Koorie Heritage Trust and we’re also just in time to get excited about a Very Koorie Kristmas…

And speaking of Christmas, the Victoria Chorale and the Art of Sound Orchestra are about to head into St Paul’s Cathedral for their Christmas Celebration and Conductor Dr Mario Dobernig returns to the show to tell us what he’ll be conducting…

They’re all on this week’s edition of Behind the Scenes with Chris Thompson right here on Vision Australia Radio.
