This issue questions international and Australian experimental models and practices. Are funding models stifling experimentation in Artist Run Initiatives? Are Biennales a seedbed for testing new models? What happens when art escapes the gallery and goes underwater or into space? Political radicalism and experiments in propaganda in art from the occupy movement.

Artlink is a quarterly, peer-reviewed magazine about contemporary art and ideas from Australia and the Asia-Pacific. Each issue is themed with a focus on criticism, theory, politics and reviews.

For this guest edition, Experiment, Din interviewed several curators of Australia's largest biennales, and commissioned articles about collaborations by artists working with scientific, environmental, political and social agencies in Australia and abroad. 

The issue was launched at RMIT Gallery by Dr Sarah Jane Pell (who wrote the cover story 'Every space project needs an artist' about her colleagues’ collaborative work with NASA and ESA). The launch coincided with Speak To Me: 5th International Biennial of Media Art, curated by Abigail Moncrieff, who was also interviewed for the issue.
