Laurence is a Sydney-based artist. His primarily sound-focused practice has taken a variety of forms, including solo and collaborative improvised performances, gallery-based sound sculpture/ installation works as well as playing as an instrumentalist in a number of local bands in contemporary idioms such as rock, electronic, industrial amongst others.
Common to all of these disparate elements of his practice is Laurence’s interest in exploring the psychophysical experience of sonic phenomena, from the production and transduction of energies through to their physiological reception, neurological mediation and potential visceral/ cognitive affect. Viewing these processes as a recursive system informs Laurence’s approach to sound production in all the various media in which he works.

David Haines and Joyce Hinterding live and work in the Blue Mountains of Australia. They maintain independent practices and also collaborate on large-scale artworks that explore diverse subject matter, often with a focus on revealing the unseen and the unheard. These works often incorporate Joyce’s investigations into energetic forces and David’s concern with the intersection of hallucination and the environment. Their recent work with gaming technologies produced Monocline, White Cube and The Outlands, an interactive projection work that won the Anne Landa Award for Video and New Media Arts, Art Gallery of NSW (2011). They also produced the large-scale artwork Geology that used projection and interactive real-time technology that premiered in Energies: Haines and Hinterding at the MCA, Sydney. These works invite visitors to take control and conduct their own voyage through digital and sonic environments of virtual forests, islands and futuristic interiors. David and Joyce have a long-standing engagement with sound in installation and performance, and their regular collaborations reflect a wide-ranging approach.
