David Dunne’s work manifests in the interconnection between art, nature, science and technology. Dunne’s practice embraces Video, Installation, Sculpture and Photography. The point of departure is through expropriation, entropy and recontextualization. This recent work rooted from previous land art projects, evolved from the frame work of Art Povera and entropy, working with the notion of chaos, collapse and transformation. In the retrieval of obsolescence I am interested in taking risks with a range of materials that can render new inherent values that accrued a history. Current installations form a combination of video content that interrogates the nature of black hole thermodynamics and gravitational singularity coupled with timber and redundant obsolete low Tec archival electrical elements. This exchange of materials informs an intuitive response to particular archaic industrial situations and natural site-specific environments.
