Soundship (descender 1)

  Gravity invisibly governs the movement of the world, the shape of space and the flow of time. Our project involved sending an Aeolian space craft,  Sound Ship (descender 1) into the stratosphere to the edge of space and back. Our spacecraft, produces sound as it meets the extreme elements on its journey, composing a unique sound composition based on the environmental situation at the time of flight. Air pressure, wind currents, and gravity itself produce noise from the air blown instruments that we have designed into the structure of our spacecraft. The Sound Ship (descender 1) is sent aloft under a specially …

Ozinal

  Three types of ozone aroma molecules are combined in a base of chemistry that allows for their moist breezy and electrical smelling qualities to bloom. They are housed in a handmade geodesic black paper sphere that allows for a suitable thermodynamic environment for the aroma molecules to circulate without spreading too far into the gallery. An ultrasonic speaker provides a focused sound beam into the area near to the smelling sphere that enables the viewer to smell ozone like molecules and hear the sound of the suns interaction with the earths ionosphere recorded by the artists using a VLF antennae and …

EarthStar

EarthStar’s overall effect is a poetically charged experience that ultimately emphasises the sun’s elemental and mythic qualities. Exploring arcane energies and hidden frequencies, the installation comprises three elements; a formal dynamic space is established between the singular and spectacular footage of the solar chromo-sphere captured by the Artists using a Hydrogen-Alpha telescope, sitting in opposition to this are two luminous refrigeration units containing virtual aroma compositions of synthesised molecules that represent states of ozone. Building a bridge between these two elements is a resonating and receiving system of VLF antennae tuned to the radio bursts emitted by the sun and …

John Cleves Symmes, an American nineteenth century eccentric believed that the earth was open at the poles and that the interior of the earth was inhabited.

The Blinds & the Shutters

Australian artists Joyce Hinterding and David Haines usually pursue separate artistic practices. Recently they have produced two intriguing video installations collaboratively. The Levitation Grounds (2000) and, in this exhibition, The Blinds and the Shutters. Joyce Hinterdings work focuses on a form of installation concerned with energy and sound. At the heart of her work is the exploration of the seemingly invisible phenomena that pervade our daily existence: electricity, the sounds of weather or electro-magnetic fields. Consistent throughout her oeuvre has been the desire to make the invisible visible. In the past she has created lightning on the roof of a …

Levitation Grounds: Essay / Liminal Product

LEVITATION GROUNDS by Liminal Product: Fran Dyson & Douglas Kahn We would like to believe that we belong to the place where weather places us. No matter how people might isolate themselves among concrete, glass, metal and media, they are brought back into a communal experience once immersed in searing heat, syrupy humidity, dense fog, or bone-chilling wind. It influences what we talk about, how we dress, how we move about, whether we move about, where we go and where we are. Can not a particular clime leach into the deep character structures of an entire people, just as it …
