Bundanon

David Haines and Joyce Hinterding’s Art practice is internationally renowned for exploring the broader concept of Energy through various media, from large-scale immersive video installations and real-time interactive 3d environments to experimental audio works for performance, discrete objects, images, and aroma compositions.

Living and working in the Blue Mountains, on Darug and Gundengurra country, their work challenges conventional notions of perception and reality. They have exhibited extensively nationally and internationally, including the 23rd Biennale of Sydney Rīvus 2022 and the 2002 and 1992 Sydney Biennales. In 2009, they received the Prix Ars Electronica Award of Distinction, and in 2015, the MCA featured their collaborative work in the survey exhibition Energies Haines & Hinterding. In 2016, they produced an extensive monograph exhibition titled Résonances Magnétiques at La Panacée in Montpellier, France. Joyce and David are affiliated with Sydney College of the Arts, Sydney University.

In Residence at Bundanon

Using a basic set of environmental sensors, from the VLF to photogrammetry, we intend to trace particular environmental energies in the landscape of the Shoalhaven and collect and create the source material for a new real-time game engine work that revolves around ideas of entropy, chaotic and protean forces. Fieldwork is an essential beginning point for us and we often carry equipment into remote locations and spend time gathering documentation, thoughts and feelings. This information is then brought back into the studio, where we will begin making, building, designing and adding imaginative twists to our experiences.
