David Haines and Joyce Hinterding live and work in the Blue Mountains, NSW Australia and work both collaboratively and independently.

The immaterials is a boxed edition that brings together our field trips along the Parramatta River that involved notation and observation, for the production in our studio of two wearable 2.5ml fragrances that represent an impression of the river environment from two perspectives. One of the fragrances represents the territory above the weir on the freshwater end of the river, going all the way back into the catchment at Toongabbie and the other represents the area below the weir, on the saltwater side of the river as far down as Duck Creek at Silverwater. These two contrasting zones are reflected in the fragrance compositions and present for the first time, an olfactory experience based on a subjective, imaginative and observational impressions of this unique river system.
Along with these two fragrances is an electromagnetic field recording of a section of the river that makes the normally inaudible electromagnetic energy-scape apparent, in the form of a delicate experimental work of sound art.
An Artist’s book is included that consists of maps, sketches and photographs from the artists explorative journeys and includes a number of free form essays by two writers Anne Finnegan and Amanda Willliams working in the area of critical theory. Additional texts have also been written by the artists on urban exploration and its relationship to their practice.
