CLOUD MACHINES
David Haines & Joyce Hinterding

Gallery 3
Art and Science come together to play in the work of these two artists.
As artists with an interest in science and aesthetics they sometimes explore scientific ideas on the edge of science orthodoxy, for example ideas of Nikola Tesla and Wilhelm Reich.
Aesthetically, they explore new image and object worlds that capture the senses through evocation.
Both artists are captivated by the unseen energies that surround us and seek to reveal them to audiences through their work. Science and philosophy are essential elements of their practice.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Joyce Hinterding
b 1958, Melbourne, Lives Blue Mountains, NSW
Whilst vast amounts of incidental and ambient noise whirr and hum in the our daily lives, there is much more atmospheric activity – such as satellite transmissions, radio wavelengths and weather patterns that remain imperceptible, inaudible to the human ear. Under normal conditions it is impossible for us to discern the full spectrum of transmissions, emissions and radiation circulating in the air, yet every second we are unwittingly enveloped by trillions of electromagnetic energy waves. This is what underpins the art of Joyce Hinterding.
David Haines
b 1966, London, Lives Blue Mountains, NSW
Since 2004 David Haines has been working with aroma and has been developing an extensive library of aroma molecules. His aroma studio is all about making artworks and learning the methodologies of the traditional perfumer and applying these techniques in art contexts. Rather than hire a perfumer as many other artists have in the past, somewhat in the same way a designer or the fragrance industry might meet a perfume brief, David Haines has chosen a more absorbing and complicated path by learning these skills himself. Much of this knowledge is ‘new knowledge,’ the craft of perfumery has always been a black art and a very difficult one. As David says, “Sourcing the materials of aroma chemistry is challenging in itself, let alone being able to actually make something interesting with them.”
The artists are represented by Sarah Cottier Gallery, Sydney.
