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 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.

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 …

These graphite drawings function as graphic antennas and explore the qualities and inherent nature of a combination of hand-drawn and mathematically generated forms. Delving into algorithmic structures, fractals and the chaotic nature of the hand drawn line, these drawings are an exploration of conductive materials and the possibilities for drawing electronic components. When connected …

2009 Aura, Breenspace, Sydney, 2010 Love of Diagrams, PICA (Perth Institute for Contemporary Art) WA 2010, Opening Lines, Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Melbourne, 2010 No Right Turn, Penrith Regional Gallery This suite of drawings resonates sympathetically with the electromagnetic fields within the gallery. It engages with the possibilities for evidencing the local energetic environment through gold and graphite graphic interpretations of mathematical algorithms that behave like antennas. This work expands the conceptual limits of representation by activating the functional properties in the image both as a material entity and a form. It opens up possibilities for working with images …
Telepathy 2008, Performance Space. Telepathy 2016 MCA Sydney, Telepathy Muttuma 2021-Ongoing, Telepathy Guggenheim Gallery, Chapman University, Orange County, California, USA 2024 Telepathy (2008) was an installation commission by the collaborative team of David Haines and Joyce Hinterding. The commissioning process was initiated by Performance Space’s former Associate Director, Sally Breen, as part of a suite of new works by NSW-based artists, made specifically for the cavernous CarriageWorks environment and in relation to its history, former uses and present-day conversion. Haines and Hinterding responded to the visually layered, light-filled, busy and echoic building by considering a space for darkness, silence …

2002 – Converge: Where art and Science meet: The Adelaide Biennial, The Art Gallery of South Australia, 2002 -The 13th Sydney Biennale of Sydney, The world (May Be) Fantastic, The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney, Australia. The Plasma Wave Instrument explores the in-between space of matter both as a real-world phenomenon and as an imaginary rendering via a computer-generated sequence. At the centre of this work is a photovoltaic high-voltage generator that transforms sunlight into plasma. Here, the air in its fourth phase travels faster than the speed of sound, literally burning the air. The mechanism that facilitates this is based …
1995 – Sound In Space: Australian Sound Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney. Comprised of conventional art materials pencil (graphite), paper and silver leaf these drawings are functioning interpretations of the circuit diagram of the electronic device the phase shift oscillator. Electricity generated by the Solar panel is fed directly into the drawing and the pencil marks, silver and paper are used to conduct, impede and collect electricity. All conventional electronic components except the transistor and a piezo speakers have been replaced by the graphite drawings, connecting wires and silver leaf. The recording of this installation titled “the Oscillators” and …

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 …
