ARTIST STATEMENT

Originating from the cross-dimensionality and (sur)real environments of field recordings, 4 Landscapes presents an immersion into digital ways of documenting space, listening to the micro-non-biotic acoustics of location in conjunction with the visual stimuli of surveillance cameras. 

A newfound reality is created of local and global collapse through internet image excavation, scored by site-specific electromagnetic signal recordings from Sydney.
