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 …

The Wollemi Kirlians 2014

The following is a text written for the Kuandu Biennale extracted from a longer essay written by curator Jasmin Stephens David Haines is presenting an installation comprising a suite of images using the technique of Kirlian photography and a fragrance he composed in his Aroma Studio. In his sculptural assembly, Wollemi Kirlians (2014) and Slow Fast Mountains (earth aroma laboratory)(2014), Haines has configured the visual and olfactory elements to set up a recognition system intended to bring Biennale visitors into closer proximity to ‘unseen forces’ that lie within and around us. Haines’ installation exemplifies the tension between ‘the fictive and …

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 …

News:Haines to launch and Hinterding to perform at Douglas Kahn’s book launch

Earth Sound Earth Signal is a study of energies in aesthetics and the arts, from the birth of modern communications in the nineteenth century to the global transmissions of the present day. Douglas Kahn begins by evoking the Aeolian sphere music that Henry David Thoreau heard blowing along telegraph lines and the Aelectrosonic sounds of natural radio that Thomas Watson heard through the first telephone; he then traces the histories of science, media, music, and the arts to the 1960s and beyond. Earth Sound Earth Signal rethinks energy at a global scale, from brainwaves to outer space, through detailed discussions …

News:Haines & Hinterding: Hollow in the Paper

12/07/2013 – 18/08/2013 Hollow in the Paper Joyce Hinterding, Pat Brassington, David Haines, Fiona Lee, Amanda Davies, Maria Kunda, Teaching and Learning Cinema Bec Stevens CAST Hobart from the CAST website the wonderful Bec Stevens writes Hollow in the Paper* was initiated through readings of two intertwined notions proposed separately by Duchamp. The initial text included the succinct idea of a transformer to utilise slight, wasted energies – with these mostly bodily energies being, for example, “sneezes and sighs” or “the movements of fear, astonishment, boredom and anger”. And the second notion being the infra-slim, infra-thin or infra-mince. A term …

Noumenon Range

This pure pigment image is the first in a number of works that form part of a series on imaginary cartography. “Looking towards the Noumenon Ranges, 2013 ” was first exhibited in the Konica Minolta Redlands Prize. The landscape depicted is often mistaken for a real place. The landscape is algorithmically generated using fractal-based 3d rendering software. 

The Falls of Darkness

12 October 2013   ‘The falls of darkness‘  was installed and performed for Niteworks at The Bundanon Trust in the Glen Murcutt designed Boyd Education Center. ‘The falls of darkness’ drew its source sound from 5 large graphite graphic Very Low Frequency antenna stenciled onto the large windows of the Boyd Education Center and 7 copper tube antenna pointing into the night sky. This live performance explored the electromagnetic soundscape of the surroundings and wrangled this energetic material into a composition of elaborate sonic structures.

Simple Forces

2013 Breenspace Sydney Joyce Hinterding’s exhibition, Simple Forces, considers the aesthetics of our electromagnetic environment through a series of conductive graphite drawings and installations. Hinterding approaches energy as a ‘non-human mode of expression’ that explores the four fundamental forces at the heart of existence: gravity, the strong force, the weak force and electromagnetism. What happens when an artist translates invisible forces into compositions? Hinterding’s work finds a compelling balance between physics and aesthetics, a practice immersed in the strange territory between a field and the force it can generate. For Hinterding, a graphite spiral becomes a resonating structure that emanates energy, scavenging, …
