Events

This course is over three mornings online 10,12,14 February 2025 and is suitable for researchers who need to fit mixed models to their data. Mixed models are also known as multi-level models or hierarchical models, and arise in most disciplines, in both designed experiments and observational studies. Some examples are cluster randomised trials in medicine, incomplete block designs in agriculture, hierarchical structures in education, repeated measures in the social sciences, and nested factors in ecology.

Flashover

Flashover is a monumental multi-screen media artwork reimagining a devastating moment of terror and beauty from the Black Summer fires. Pieced together from the memories of volunteer firefighters, Flashover contemplates the cycle of bushfires fuelled by the climate emergency and our collective inability to break society’s disastrous habitual loops. It evokes fires past, present, and the inferno to come if we refuse to act.

Flashover invites you to look beyond the human viewpoint to encounter bushfires from the perspectives of flora, fauna, and the fire itself by exploring a labyrinth of minuscule and monumental screens. Created by leading artist-researchers from the Faculty of Fine Arts and Music, distinguished guest artists, and volunteer firefighters, Flashover combines cutting-edge photography, animation, and immersive sound techniques to contemplate bush fires at a stunning level of intimate beauty and awe.

Flashover is a free event, with afternoon and evening slots from 12PM - 4PM and 4PM - 8PM from Tuesday 4 February to Friday 14 February. Audiences are able to move through the exhibition at their own pace. Limited seating is available. Please register for the day and session you would like to attend.

This event is wheelchair accessible. Please note that there some of the spaces have low-lighting.

PARKING

The City of Melbourne has recently changed the parking restrictions around the Southbank Campus. Parking control hours are now expanded to 7am–10pm, seven days per week, and are capped at three hours. A $2-per-hour fee after 7pm is also now in place. There is no change to the $4-per-hour peak rate between 7am–7pm. Parking inspectors are regularly in the area fining drivers who overstay their meter, so we encourage everyone to be aware and avoid an expensive fine. More information.
