David Haines and Joyce Hinterding live and work in the Blue Mountains of Australia. They maintain independent practices and collaborate on large-scale artworks that explore diverse subject matter, often focusing on revealing the unseen and the unheard. These works often incorporate Joyce’s investigations into energetic forces and David’s concern with the intersection of hallucination and the environment. Their recent work with gaming technologies produced Monocline, White Cube and The Outlands, an interactive projection work that won the Anne Landa Award for Video and New Media Arts, Art Gallery of NSW (2011). They also produced the large-scale artwork Geology that used projection and interactive real-time technology, which premiered in Energies: Haines and Hinterding at the MCA, Sydney. These works invite visitors to take control and conduct their own voyage through digital and sonic environments of virtual forests, islands and futuristic interiors. David and Joyce have a long-standing engagement with sound in installation and performance, and their regular collaborations reflect a wide-ranging approach.
Joyce Hinterding’s long-standing practice explores physical and virtual dynamics. Her work is based on investigations into energetic forces through custom-built field recording and monitoring technologies. These explorations into acoustic and electromagnetic phenomena have produced large sculptural antenna works, experimental drawings, video and sound-producing installations and experimental audio works for performance. She often collaborates with artist David Haines to produce large-scale works that explore the tension between the fictive and the phenomenal. Her audio work has been released by Sigma Editions/Antiopic and Rec-Energies, an archive of audio works with David Haines.
Joyce has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally; her collaborative work was featured by the MCA in 2015 in a survey exhibition, Energies Haines & Hinterding. In 2016, they produced an extensive monograph exhibition titled Résonances Magnétiques – Haines & Hinterding La Panacée, Centre for Contemporary Art, Montpellier, France. In 2019, Joyce was awarded the Australia Council Emerging & Experimental Arts Award, their collaborative work received the Award of Distinction at Prix Ars Electronica in the hybrid arts category in 2015, and they won the Ann Lander New Media Art Award at The Art Gallery of NSW in 2011. They have exhibited in numerous international Biennales, including the 23rd Biennale of Sydney – Rīvus 2022, MetaMorph, Nice to be in Orbit, Biennale for Art and Technology Trondheim, Norway, 2016, and represented Australia in the 26th Bienal de Sao Paulo: Image Smugglers in a Free Territory, Brazil, 2004. In 2008 they were invited into Superlight the 2nd Biennial 01SJ, San Jose Museum Art, California, USA and the Seoul International Media Art Biennale, Korea (2008). Joyce exhibited in the 7th Istanbul Biennial in 2001 and Sydney Biennales in 2002 and 1992. Her work is held in numerous public and private collections.
