World Science Festival Brisbane trails have been developed with local Indigenous leaders and community members – their stories create a beautiful audible adventure through local histories and soundscapes.

This year, World Science Festival Brisbane proudly premiered Cat Royale as part of Curiocity Brisbane 2023. A new artwork by UK-based Blast Theory, Cat Royale explores the increasing impact of Artificial Intelligence on our lives and asks the question:  Can a computer make us happier? And should it even try?

Watch the Cat Royale highlights and see for yourself.

Miss the turtles? We do too!

Our baby Loggerhead turtles hatching and taking their first swim in saltwater tanks are a festival favourite each year.

You can still catch a rare glimpse Australia’s precious loggerhead turtles hatching in their incubation chambers, thanks to a rerecording of our Hatchery livestream, proudly provided by our friends at AARNET.
