Her great-grandmother, grandparents, and mom had all escaped the Cambodian genocide as refugees, and they could not understand why Mel was obsessed with this machine.

But that computer completely opened up Mel's world and would end up changing her life, and now she's curated an exhibition called Radical Computing at the National Communication Museum.

Hey, Mel.

Hello.

Thanks for having me.

My guest on Conversations today was technologist and designer Mel Huang-Buntine.

She has curated an exhibition at the National Communication Museum in Melbourne called Radical Computing.

This episode of Conversations was recorded on the lands of the Gadigal people.

Can you tell us a little bit about what to expect? It's called Radical Computing, is that right?

Radical Computing at the National Communication Museum.

Yes, we're opening September 19th, and this exhibition is, I guess, my love letter to the personal computer.

Okay, have you written a few love letters on a personal computer?

So

the exhibition is Where's It On?

At the National Communication Museum in Hawthorne.

Yeah.
