So Peter Parkcar. In his dimension did he watch helplessly as the grizzled police car dies from crashing rubble after saving one of these things?

Kambah Turns 50 - planning for Sep 2024 for a community celebration

On Sat 26 Nov, a few of us met at the Diversity Hub on Laidlaw St to have a chat about how to mark Kambah's 50th.

Unfortunately, the sheep at the shops proposal was not successful with ArtsACT but that doesn't mean it's a bad idea. That was about making temporary flocks of sheep for each shops and getting the community to decorate them.

Kambah Turns 50 - a draft schedule for Sep 2024

Sat 7, Sun 8 Kambah Open

All the community/business/groups in Kambah open their doors to the community (everyone we can think - artists, gardens, clubs, shops, Youth Haven, churches)

Evening bonfire - ideal if we can do it on private land (not sure how likely that is)

Bushband, dance party (rave)

see-change e-bike tours of Kambah??

Sun 15 Well-being day

Urambi Hills weed-out/plantings, yoga, sports clubs come-and-try, cooking, gardening

Reiki day

Diversity hub

Thurs 20 Tuggeranong Arts Centre exhibition Kambah Turns 50 opens

Sat 21, Sun 22 Sep Kambah artists weekend - events by the artists

Sat Sun 28/29 Sep (noting this is Grand Final weekend)

Kambah and surrounds waterways/celebrating the river  

Oct long weekend - Sports focus? Bbq

Here are all the ideas we haven't slotted in or resolved.

Yet to work out how to:

Other groups/events we should connect to eg Uncharted Territory festival July 2024; Design Canberra; ACT Heritage Week; National Tree Day; other 'Days'

Sheep at the shops - still do it?

Long table lunch near COGS or Diversity Hub

Ian Marr stone sculpture for Urambi Hills - how to do that?

use the opportunity to do more for the environment centre/Food forest Sustainable grassland - btw diversity hub and cogs - kambah see-change

include a Barista battle - waiters race 

do more for/with music

have a kids/family day - might be Kambah Open

involve religious community

car culture

heritage - Glenn's walks? Kambah history day?

1970s design and landscape design features??

Who to include in Kambah Open weekend or a day

Cogs

Five ways 

Lions youthhaven

The Farm and music

Golf course - driving range 

Burns club

Tennis club

Diversity hub

Urambi hills group 

Mt Taylor parkcare

Coleman ridge

Kambah see-change

Other ideas to work in

Cleaning World Cup - Singapore - can we emulate that?

River health 

Family day ideas:

Collect and make - kambah rock hunt; 

Pet rock workshop and garden 

Gameify a behaviour - eg rubbish pick up

Nissan Arizon krosovers komunicē ar vadītāju un pasažieriem

Jaunajam parkcar ir virtuālais asistents, un modelim ir arī neparasts dizains. Nissan Šanhajas automobiļu izstādē ir parādījis jaunu konceptuālu krosoveru Arizon. Tas, protams, ir elektromobilis; tā pamatā ir CMF-EV platforma, uz kuras balstās arī “zaļās” sērijveida parketes Nissan Ariya un Renault Megan E-Tech Electric. Un tā ir visa tehniskā informācija. Nissan Arizon dizains ir izstrādāts…

Old media orchestra

‘Bushfire Requiem - living mural of 1970s media’ is a giant live film performance created from 1970s media. It is performed by four senior Canberra artists who come together as the Old Media Orchestra, commissioned by Sam Dignand for Canberra’s prestigious arts festival, Art Not Apart, Saturday 14 March 2020, 130-3 pm NFSA theatrette.

This summer has shown us that we face a situation where what we are doing right now is terrifying both to us and those who are coming along behind us. To understand technology, we must really get a feel for it, get close to it, think like it. Old technology like super 8 film and slide film is porous. How it works is much easier to understand than contemporary 'black boxes'. Through a process of thinking like these old machines, we can learn something about how we got into this mess and just maybe, gain confidence about how we're going to get out of it.

Starting with a bank of 15 low watt super 8s, media such as 16mm, early video projectors, slide projectors and overhead projectors accumulate and fluctuate during the 'living mural'. The experience is like a music orchestra but for aged media. Using photos and video posted on the internet by the public of the frightening summer we’ve just had, the living mural is a ‘requiem’ reflecting the deep disquiet, fear and grief experienced by many of us this summer. 

About the Old Media Orchestra The Old Media Orchestra is an experimental media group convened for You Are Here made up of those of us in and around Canberra who fruitfully muck around with old media. Some of us are as old or older than the media, some of us are not.

Orchestra members The Orchestra is convened by Louise Curham. Along with being convenor for Friends of Urambi Hills ParkCare Group, Louise specialises in old media from the 1970s. That involves re-enacting '70s media art performance (with colleague Lucas Ihlein) and failing on purpose with 16mm and super 8 to make films,  performance and their detritus for performance, galleries and occasionally as straight films. Recent outputs by Louise include the exhibition The Stand-in Lab at Canberra’s photomedia gallery PhotoAccess. Louise’s career in the arts starts in the early 90s, highlights are exhibitions at performances and exhibitions at premier Australian arts venues such as Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, the Opera House, Melbourne’s Federation Square and Arts Centre.

Tracey Benson ‘I have been working with digital media as an artist since 1996  ... my creative work incorporates augmented and virtual reality experiences which explore storytelling about nature, ancestry and the elements. I often collaborate with cultural owners and guides: working with Indigenous communities, scientists, historians and technologists.’ Tracey is also a ‘reluctant scientist’ with qualifications in environment science.

Martyn Jolly Dr Martyn Jolly is an artist and a writer. He is an Honorary Associate Professor at the Australian National University School of Art and Design. He completed his PhD on fake photographs and photographic affect at the University of Sydney in 2003. In 2006 his book Faces of the Living Dead: The Belief in Spirit Photography was published by the British Library, as well as in the US and Australia. His work is in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia, the National Gallery of Victoria and the Canberra Museum and Gallery. In 2006 he was one of three artists commissioned to design and build the Act Bushfire Memorial.

Kambah Turns 50

Exhibition title: Kambah Turns 50

Artists: Louise Curham with the Kambah community, Southern Arts Collective artists, Kambah artists and Canberra artists interested in Kambah’s 50th

Partners: The intention is to partner with ArtsACT through Arts Activities Funding, the Southern ACT Catchment Group (umbrella environment group for south ACT) and other groups in the community such as Southfest, See-change Tuggeranong, the Diversity Hub, Lake Tugg Sea Scouts, Mt Taylor Scouts, the Lions Youthhaven, Communities at Work, the Tuggeranong Community Council, schools (Namadgi, Mt Taylor, St Thomas, Lake Tugg College) and businesses eg Amberley Eggs, Cafe Blanco.

Preferred dates: July-Aug 2024

Summary

An exhibition by Kambah artists and the Kambah community to mark 50 years since the first residents moved into Kambah in 1974. There will be celebrations across Kambah in July, Aug, including this exhibition. 

The exhibition uses the stairwell in the Tuggeranong Arts Centre and upstairs gallery 2 (the back gallery upstairs). Along with the gallery works, a feature of the exhibition is a series of public events in Kambah, focused on the nature parks of Urambi Hills, Mt Taylor, McQuoids Hill, and the Bullen Range Nature Reserve that surround Kambah. 

How will the exhibition come together?

A public call for artists to be involved in the exhibition will take place 6 months before the exhibition. A public call for works from the community will take place over the 2-3 months leading up to the exhibition. 

1. The stairwell - community call out for documents about Kambah

The community will use the stairwell to share their documents about Kambah. 

2. The gallery space - curated by grouping media, artists not just in Kambah but also those keen to reflect on Kambah. 

In this space, Kambah will be explored by format - photography in one section of the gallery, textiles in a section, drawing in a section and writing in a section. The artists will be brought together through the Southern Arts Collective and call outs through Canberra arts organisations. The artists may not all be from Kambah but they will be reflecting on Kambah. A public call for works will go out. 

3. Events across Kambah with a focus on the nature parks

The event program will include:

interpretive walks on the nature parks led by the parkcare groups

a tree planting on Urambi Hills

A walk around Kambah exploring the digital ‘Kambah Peoples Map’

art-in-unusual-places for ten days around Kambah including extending the flock of sheep in the landmark sculpture on Drakeford Drive

a talk about landscape and design of public spaces in Tuggeranong using Kambah as a case study. 

A note about developing 50th events with the community using TAC as a base

There is much interest in the Kambah community about the 50th. I have become aware of this through my 2023 exhibition ‘Kambah’ and my discussion with parkcarers, Scouts and other community leaders such as Taryn Langdon, Geoff Pryor and Liz Stephens. There is an opportunity to hold some meetings with the community to discuss ways to mark the 50th. There’s an opportunity to hold these conversations at TAC and to tell the Kambah community more about TAC and its programs. That is something to discuss further if it is of interest to TAC. 

About the content

This exhibition investigates life in Kambah 50 years after the first houses were built in the new suburb (gazetted in 1973, first houses 1974). It depicts places, life and atmospheres of Kambah. The artists involved include members of the Southern Arts Collective, artists who live in Kambah and Canberra artists who want to make work to mark Kambah turning 50. 

The exhibition builds on my 2022 exhibition Kambah. 

Artist bio - Louise Curham

In her art practice, Louise makes performances, photographic works, video and 16mm films and installations. She also draws whenever possible. Themes in her work include  decoding the ‘black box’ of contemporary technology and extending the life of old media through creative archiving. Her methods include hand processing super 8 and 16 mm film, making performances using old media and re-enacting early media art performance.

Louise loves the way old media draws attention to relationships, both the relationship with audiences and the performance of technology. At the moment, she’s thinking about the ecology old media needs in order to keep operating. That resonates with other work Louise does in practical land care and in thinking about her suburb, Kambah, a misunderstood suburb of the south of Canberra.

Since the early 1990s, Louise has presented exhibitions, public programs and community events throughout Australia and internationally. Her art has been supported by ArtsACT (2020, 2013), Bundanon Trust (2012), BankART1929 (Yokohama, Japan), UNSW Student Union (2002), Creative New Zealand (1995).

Scala Generics III: Generalized type constraints

This is the third article in our series of Scala Generics ( we have already looked at upper and lower Scala Type bounds, Covariance and Contravariance) and today we are going to talk about constraints, to be more specific about generalized type constraints.

In Generics I we talk about the type bounds and use site variance, also we talked about the control over the abstract types, however there are methods that need to make sure that the abstract type of the class meets certain restrictions only in that method.

And today we are going to work with this small set of classes:

trait Thing trait Vehicle extends Thing class Car extends Vehicle class Jeep extends Car class Coupe extends Car class Motorcycle extends Vehicle class Vegetable

We will work with Parking, as usual.

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val v: A){ def park: A = v }

In this example, the parking method can return any type of vehicle, just as the upper type bound of Parking specifies, but what happens if we want to have specific logic to park cars and motorcycles, kind of this way?

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val v: A) { def parkMoto(): A = { println("moto") // this could call some public method of Motorcycle v } def parkCar(): A = { println("car") // this could call some public method of Car v } }

f

In these cases, we want to ensure that A is Motorcycle type for parkMoto and Car type for parkCar, right?

If we remember something from Generics I we will see that there were two ways to do similar things: type bounds on the method and with use site variance.

Let’s try it with the type bounds!

Let’s try to add bounds to A for the methods parkMoto and parkCar:

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val v: A) { def parkMoto[A <: Motorcycle] = { println("moto") // this could call some public method of Motorcycle v } def parkCar[A <: Car] = { println("car") // this could call some public method of Car v } }

If you put this in an IDE this will give you clues … Suspicious shadowing … But it does not matter, it compiles and we will try it!

val p1 = new Parking(new Motorcycle) p1: Parking[Motorcycle] = Parking@193f604a p1.parkCar res5: Motorcycle = Motorcycle@5562c41e p1.parkMoto res6: Motorcycle = Motorcycle@5562c41e

It seems that those type bounds have not done anything. Obviously, the clue that the IDE gave us: Suspicious shadowing by a type parameter means that we are redefining the type parameter.

It turns out that we were not adding bounds to our A, but defining a new type A …

And if we type the return of the method to be sure?

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val v: A) { def parkMoto[B <: Motorcycle]: B = { println("moto") // this could call some public method of Motorcycle v } } <console>:13: error: type mismatch; found : Parking.this.v.type (with underlying type A) required: B v ^

It is not enough with that, since we are adding restrictions on the type of return .. but we want to work with v: A

In other words, the restrictions should not go on a new type B, but on the type A defined in the class, it seems that the type bound does not work for us …

Let’s try using use site variance, if we remember it, use site variance allowed us to define the constraints of a generic type at the moment of defining it:

class Parking[A](val v: A) {} def parkMoto(parking: Parking[_ <: Motorcycle]) = { println("moto") // this could call some public method of Motorcycle parking.v } def parkCar(parking: Parking[_ <: Car]) = { println("car") // this could call some public method of Car parking.v }

Looks good, let’s check it out:

parkCar(new Parking(new Car)) res1: Car = Car@17baae6e parkCar(new Parking(new Motorcycle)) <console>:14: error: type mismatch; found : Motorcycle required: Car parkCar(new Parking(new Motorcycle)) ^

It seems that this can be a solution, although we have had to sacrifice several things… we use the methods parkMoto and parkCar outside Parking, passing a parking as a parameter… In addition, the open-close principle has been broken by calling parking.v (tell do not ask).

Although it works, it is a very poor solution to our problem.

And here is where the Generalized type constraints come into play:

The three existing generalized type constraints are =:=, <: <and <% <. They are used by implicit parameters (implicit ev: T =:= B) in the method.

These implicit parameters, generally called ev (“evidences”) are tests, which show that a type meets certain restrictions.

These constraints can be used in different ways, but the most interesting thing is that they allow us to delimit the type parameter of the class in the same method:

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val v: A) { def parkMoto(implicit ev: A =:= Motorcycle) { println("moto") } def parkCar(implicit ev: A =:= Car) { println("car")} }

By using =:= we have achieved that an abstract type such as Parking, forces its type parameter to be a specific one for different methods.

And what will happen if I create a Parking [Car] and call it parkMoto?

val p1 = new Parking(new Car) p1: Parking[Car] = Parking@5669f5b9 p1.parkCar p1.parkMoto <console>:14: error: Cannot prove that Car =:= Motorcycle. p1.parkMoto ^

Indeed, we have managed to have methods that only work when the type parameter meets certain restrictions.

Mainly the generalized type constraints serve to ensure that a specific method has a concrete constraint, so that certain methods can be used with one type and other methods with another. However, due to the type erasure, we can not overload a method: 

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val vehicle: A) { def park(implicit ev: A =:= Motorcycle) { println("moto") } def park(implicit ev: A =:= Car) { println("car") } } method park:(implicit ev: =:=[A,Car])Unit and method park:(implicit ev: =:=[A,Motorcycle])Unit at line 12 have same type after erasure: (ev: =:=)Unit def park(implicit ev: A =:= Car) {}

Another curious use case could be the next one: I want a method for parking to vehicles ofthe same class:

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val vehicle: A) { def park2(vehicle1: A, vehicle2: A) {} }

As you have already deduced this is not enough, since the two vehicles could be any subtype of Vehicle, and if the parking we are creating is new Parking (new Car), we could park one Jeep and one Coupe at a time.

The solution is a generalized type constraint:

class Parking[A <: Vehicle] { def park2[B, C](vehicle1: B, vehicle2: C)(implicit ev: B =:= C) {} }

Now let’s try it:

val p2 = new Parking[Car] a: Parking[Car] = Parking@57a68215 p2.park2(new Jeep, new Jeep) p2.park2(new Jeep, new Coupe) <console>:15: error: Cannot prove that Jeep =:= Coupe. a.park2(new Jeep, new Coupe) ^

Now vehicle1 must be the same type as vehicle2, however …

p2.park2(new Vegetable, new Vegetable)

Oops … we have lost the Vehicle constraint. Let’s fix it! Type bounds to the rescue!

class Parking[A <: Vehicle] { def park2[B <: A, C](vehicle1: B, vehicle2: C)(implicit ev: B =:= C) {} } val p3 = new Parking[Car] p3.park2(new Vegetable, new Vegetable) <console>:14: error: inferred type arguments [Vegetable,Vegetable] do not conform to method park2's type parameter bounds [B <: Car,C] p3.park2(new Vegetable, new Vegetable) ^ <console>:14: error: type mismatch; found : Vegetable required: B p3.park2(new Vegetable, new Vegetable) ^ <console>:14: error: type mismatch; found : Vegetable required: C p3.park2(new Vegetable, new Vegetable) ^ <console>:14: error: Cannot prove that B =:= C. p3.park2(new Vegetable, new Vegetable)*/ p3.park2(new Jeep, new Coupe) <console>:15: error: Cannot prove that Jeep =:= Coupe. p3.park2(new Jeep, new Coupe) ^ p3.park2(new Jeep, new Jeep)

Now the Parking2 method can only receive two identical types that must also be A or subtype of A, fixed!

And finally, let’s look at other two generalized type constraints:

A <:< B, as you may guess, means "A must be a subtype of B". It is analogous to type bound <:

Its use is exactly the same as with =:=, with an implicit “evidence”.

In the previous case of parkCar and parkMoto, if we wanted to not only park cars and motorcycles but subtypes of cars and motorcycles as well, we would don use this =:=, but rather use this <:< :

class Parking[A <: Vehicle](val v: A) { def parkMoto(implicit ev: A <:< Motorcycle) { println("moto") } def parkCar(implicit ev: A <:< Car) { println("car")} }

And of course, in the case of receiving two type parameters, we can force that one should be the subtype of the other: 

class Parking[A <: Vehicle] { def park2[B <: A, C](vehicle1: B, vehicle2: C)(implicit ev: B <:< C) {} }

The last generalized type constraints is <%<, is deprecated and is not in use in the Scala stdlib. It refers to the concept of "view", also deprecated. Means that in A <%< B, A it must be able to be seen as B. This can be given by an implicit conversion, for example.

For those who want more information about generalized type constraints, to know how they work internally, and have more comparisons with type points etc., I strongly recommend to read this post.

These three Scala Generic articles are just an introduction to generics.We looked at some complex pieces and I should say that we have reached quite deep levels, however we have only scratched the surface. We have not even entered into what their implementations are !!

I hope that I will have time to write more articles about Scala in the nearest future!
