Drawings, 2010

Loops and Fields: Induction Drawings is a collection of drawings that resonate sympathetically with the electromagnetic fields within the gallery space. When connected to a sound system the drawings function as antennas and make the spectral activity audible. The lines and loops refer to the trust we have in the power of media to discover the world.

About the artist

Joyce Hinterding produces works that explore physical and virtual dynamics. Her practice 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 immersive video and sound works that explore the tension between the fictive and the phenomenal. Joyce lives and works in the Blue Mountains, Australia and is represented by Breenspace, Sydney; her audio work has been released by Antiopic.

Her work Earth Star won an Award of Distinction at Ars Electronica in Linz 2009.
