Extraction Exibition
2021
Created in collaboration with Riley Salmon Lomas and Lia Tsemelis
Extraction was a group exhibition focused on the extractive industry in all of its forms (from mining and drilling to the reckless exploitation of water, soil, trees, marine life, and other natural resources). It is connected to a broader global project to expose and interrogate extraction’s negative social and environmental consequences, from the damage done to people, especially indigenous and disenfranchised communities, to ravaged landscapes and poisoned water to climate change and its many troubling implications.
A few words from Riley about the work:

A few words from Riley about the work:
In this work, a manipulated recording of conversations with geologist Richard Carson focus on the environmental issues surrounding the future of current methods of resource extraction and its limited ability to produce the necessary volume of minerals required to make a full transition to carbon neutral energy.
Sound panning is used to mimic ‘circling’- a stress response behaviour of mammals to sustained high and low frequency noise, and specific sub bass and tonal ranges are employed to both emulate frequencies from mine sites and generate distinct physical and emotional responses within the space.
