Artist Joyce Hinterding’s Black Canyon and Earth Field , in collaboration with David Haines, will be presented at the 2nd Biennial 01SJ Global Festival of Art on the Edge. For the Superlight exhibition at the festival, Haines and Hinterding will install a new work, consisting of rows of tables with patterns of graphite that act as antennas. Electromagnetic information in the environment is picked up by these unusual antennae and transmitted through an audio interface, while a filmic sequence projects onto the far wall, relaying a failed oil mining ghost town in the Australian outback.

This work continues to deepen a long investigation into the pervasiveness of electro-magnetic activity for Hinterding; her unusual antennas become sculptures in their own right, as well as vehicles to help us comprehend the “sea of energy” all around us. A poetic conversation with Hinterding about her artistic investigation can be found here.
