ALT Radial tree diagram titled “Threatened Australian Fauna”. The centre node branches into major fauna groups including Birds, Mammals, Reptiles, Fish, Frogs, and Hidden lives. Each group branches into smaller user-friendly subgroups such as Skinks, Shorebirds, Bats, Tree frogs, and Insects. The visual uses fine grey lines, small circular nodes, and a pale background.
ALT Black-and-white infographic titled “Birds as Feathers,” showing 186 threatened bird species of Australia as individual feather barbs in one large sweeping feather. Different line styles represent EPBC conservation status, from extinct to vulnerable. Species are grouped around the feather by bird type, with a small status summary table.
ALT Black-and-white infographic titled “Mammals as Leaves,” showing 152 threatened mammal species of Australia as individual veins in gum-leaf forms. Different line styles represent EPBC conservation status, from extinct to vulnerable. Species are grouped by mammal type, including rodents, kangaroos and wallabies, carnivorous marsupials, possums, bats and marine mammals, with a small status summary table.

Home battery subsidies in Australia aren't about the tech. They're about distribution.
Industry → growth
Government → relief
Academics → equity
Critics → middle-class welfare?
The real question: who benefits most?

ALT Stakeholder map summarising perspectives on Australian home battery subsidies (Feb 2026). Four viewpoints are shown: industry celebrating rapid uptake and momentum; federal government framing batteries as cost-of-living relief and grid support; an academic highlighting equity concerns and that higher-income households may receive larger subsidies; and critics warning subsidies could become “middle-class welfare.” The central theme is fairness and who benefits most.

ALT A concept network diagram titled “An Ontology of Silence.” The diagram places Silence at the centre, with radiating connections to related concepts such as Joy, Fear, Awareness, Empathy, Connection, Resilience, Impermanence, Wisdom, and Mystery. Each term branches into further relationships—for example, Joy embodies Equanimity, Silence expands Awareness, and Impermanence leads to Acceptance. The visualization shows how silence connects emotional, cognitive, and ethical dimensions into an integrated model of understanding.

#AI doesn't just search, it remembers. 🧠✨
#Brands now need to craft memories for machines as much as for humans.

ALT Visual sketchnote titled “The Role of Memory in Digital Branding for AI” summarizing Andrea Volpini’s insights from the Knowledge Graph Insights podcast. The layout combines handwritten notes and watercolor-style AI illustrations (trees, mushrooms, brain, leaves, plants). Key points include: shift from keywords to memory in AI search; short-term vs. long-term memory; three AI memory types (semantic, episodic, procedural); parallels to human brains; and marketing as memory crafting. Logos of AI models (ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, Perplexity) are represented as plants. Takeaway: brands must appeal to machine memory, not just humans. (Miro ChatGPT DALLE, 2025).
