| Joyce Hinterding and David Haines |
Joyce Hinterding and David Haines are based in the Blue Mountains, on the land of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples, their renowned collaborative and individual practices operate at the creative intersection of art, aesthetics, and observation. Together, Haines & Hinterding, are known for approaching energy not merely as a subject, but as a ‘mode of expression'.

Haines & Hinterding, Geology, 2015. Installation view, Energies: Haines & Hinterding, Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, Sydney, 2015. Real-time 3D environment, 2 x HD projections, game engine, motion sensor, spatial 3D. |
"During our residency at Gunyah we will work specifically with the volcanic geomorphology of the Port Stephens area for a new work commissioned by the Blue Mountains Cultural Centre, for 2027. This project continues to build our vision of a speculative environmental techne, grounded in field trips and real-world scanning and recordings. We aim to invent a critically minded psychogeography for unprecedented imaginary landscapes, sparking a provocation about people's position within the post-colonial Anthropocene."
Joyce will be making field recordings of the maritime radio environment, walking out along the coast to 3D scan the coastal geomorphology, photographing Lichens, making hydrophone recordings in the harbour and river environments, and working on sound processing and post-production in a digital studio they'll bring to Gunyah.
David will be focusing on the rocky coastline and estuarine worlds, working with 3D scanning to capture geological formations, doing field recording and underwater photography; and working with sound processing and post-production software.

Joyce Hinterding, Floric Osscilator, 2023. Graphite on glass, wood, mixer with headphones. Dimensions: 2 units, each 85 x 85cm. An antenna that scavenges electromagnetic energy and a capacitor that stores it. |
Joyce Hinterding is based in the Blue Mountains, on the land of the Dharug and Gundungurra peoples. Her practice explores the broader concept of energy through fieldwork and research into electromagnetic phenomena, incorporating large sculptural receiving antennas and experimental graphite drawings. Joyce often collaborates with artist David Haines to create large-scale, environmentally inspired artworks featuring immersive, real-time interactive 3D. She has exhibited widely, nationally and internationally, including the 23rd Biennale of Sydney, 2022, and the Sydney Biennales of 2002 and 1992. Joyce is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Sydney and represented by Sumer Gallery, Auckland, New Zealand.

David Haines, Field Study 2, 2023. 665 Nanometer Infrared Photograph, Queenstown, Tasmania. Dimensions: 100 x 100 cm. |
David Haines lives and works in the Blue Mountains, NSW. His individual practice is characterised by a multidisciplinary, free-ranging approach that incorporates post-object art, photographic and digital technologies, and aroma. A central, defining thread in his work is the concern with the intersection of hallucination and the environment. David often collaborates with artist Joyce Hinterding to create large-scale, environmentally inspired artworks featuring immersive, real-time interactive 3D. He has exhibited extensively nationally and internationally since 1990, including Tate Liverpool (1993), the Sydney Biennales (2002, 2022) and the Adelaide Biennale of Australian Art (2004). David is represented by Sumer Gallery, Auckland, New Zealand.
