Carbon Black Electromagnetic Jurassic – Opening 10 January 2014 at Roodkapje, Rotterdam and with a live performance 17 January at Worm Rotterdam’s Institute for Avant-garde Recreation.
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 …
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 …

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.

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, …
2012 Graphite, Indianapolis Museum of Art , Indiana, USA This exhibition presents a glimpse into recent and innovative uses of graphite. A form of crystallized carbon, graphite is a naturally occurring mineral as well as a synthetic, industrial product that can be processed and in multiple ways. It can be machined or carved, used as a powder or liquid, or handled as a lump, stick, or pencil. Graphite gathers together works that reveal the material’s potential to take a variety of forms and yield a wide range of visual effects. Graphite is accompanied by a comprehensive digital catalogue, one of …

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 …

Hollow Earth Theory is nothing new in the history of ideas. The famous British seventeenth century astronomer, Edmund Haley believed that the inner earth was hollow and lit by a luminous atmosphere. Edgar Rice Burroughs wrote a cycle of novels set in the hollow earth. Julese Verne wrote ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’ as part of a series of journey novels. 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. In 1906, William Reed added his book “Phantom of the Poles” …

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 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 …

Aeriology, is a large scale detuned custom built antenna that resonates to the range of radio frequencies related to it’s length, dimensions, and physical qualities. Like a classic transformer, aeriology also transforms electrical and electromagnetic activity in the room and the surrounding atmosphere into electrical activity in the wire. This activity can be translated into sound or image or can be …
1992 – The 9th Biennale of Sydney, “The Boundary Rider” The Bond Store Sydney Australia. An Electro-acoustic installation comprised of two custom built electrostatic sound systems designed to play back the sound from a live custom built antenna tuned to the VLF (very Low Frequency) part of the Radio spectrum and a recording made with the same antenna from New Mexico in 1992. The VLF offers an experience of electrical turbulence in the atmosphere which expresses self mostly as very high frequency sounds known as spherics and whistlers. It characteristically hears the radio bursts being given off by lighting as …

An experimental electro-acoustic work “Siphon” explores the inherent qualities of electricity and its characteristic sounds by interpreting, sculpturally an electronic component within a sound producing circuit. The work uses a number of specially constructed glass capacitors, based on the “leyden jar”, an eighteenth century device, which demonstrates the possibilities for storing electricity in insulated containers. Each of the jars in “Siphon” acts temporarily like a battery, filling and emptying with electricity. …
