Star Transcriptions 2018
These works originated in a series of long-exposure astrophotographs taken at night on the Coxs River on the Western side of the Blue Mountains. We camped amongst the granite boulders in a campsite we informally called Falling Water. I then traced out star constellations that my eye was drawn to. A painterly layer from the image was generated by continual reprocessing of various algorithms and filters in specialised astrophotography software, exaggerating and reinforcing the signal in each pass, bringing out resonant frequencies buried within the file. Ultimately I see these as painterly hybrids between painting and photography.
Violet Gas 2015
Violets are everywhere on the ground outside the windows of the gallery. A violet accord is one of my favourite chemical cocktails and appears like magic when you are making one from scratch. The ionones are an interesting and historical chemical class that heralded synthetic perfumery’s beginnings. A Violet in nature is fleeting because our brains have evolved to react to the ionones and switch them off. Even with a synthetic version, this holds true: the ionones flip your brain, and then your brain flips them off. Violet Gas 2015. Acrylic on canvass, Violet aroma made by the artist, …

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 …

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 …

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, …
