The Water That Moves You, 2023
WateryBeings brings you a soundwalk designed for a specific section along the river Maas in the city centre of Rotterdam. The audio includes parallel narratives of different characters that blend the past, present, and future together. They speculate on our watery destiny from particular angles of the river as a trade carrier, a public space, a potential threat as the water levels are rising and a place for contemplation. 
 
 
Please download the echoes.xyz app for access, as the app uses geolocation data to trigger the different sound files. Environmental sound and field recordings by Joshua Thies.  More information at https://www.waterybeings.nl/

"these fields," 2014, video on tablet with headphones 
Shown in context of 'november second' art event 
Location: 51°56'28" N 4°27'15" E 
More information about the event: http://novembersecond.hotglue.me/

"Mastering Gaze or Untitled Photo Series," 2014 



 




"In Free Fall," 2014, Video loop, 18'  
A specific reaction to Steyerl's essay, this work makes use of media that attempt to synthesize the grounded human experience represented in Google Earth.  Locations were chosen based on recent events concerning pirating off the coast of Somalia and container shipping through the Gulf of Aden and the Suez canal.  Some of the narrative text comes directly from Steyerl's essay plus original anecdotal material by the artist.  Special thanks to SND, Laurie Spiegel, Alva Noto, Avus and Veronica Olivotto for sound, music and field recording contributions.

Circuits Collection - White Wall Project
Each artist is free to use the theme he or she sees fit, freedom is absolute in this sense, the artist is free to intervene in the space in any way he or she believes is suitable. Visitors can observe how diverse forms of expression can coexist within the same space and become a message. The first edition takes place at Café LaBru, Rotterdam (NL). Artists include: Hanneke van der Werf (NL), Peter Hoijmakers(NL), Yoshiyuki Koinuma (JP), Joshua Thies (US), Isabel Marcos (SP), Alejandra Huerta (CHI/NL), Ivo van den Baar (NL), Inge Aanstoot (NL) and Piet Rogie (NL).  More info here. 






'Non-action at a distance'  
 Patterns we can see from such a distance as that of orbiting satellites and gazing at our planet promote a sense of possession over these territories. The images in this video work were captured via Google Earth in the outback of Australia and the text comes from various sources about the history of photography and flight, self-help/motivational books and finally a fictional element written by myself. The drawings capture various ways of seeing surfaces at both micro and macroscopic distances. The images refer to places on Earth's surface that can be viewed via satellite or high altitude flight photography as well as microscopic imagery based on forms created by nano technology. Each image is a mixture of human intervention in the landscape and human intervention in artificial production of microscopic surfaces.  Field recordings of the 'booming desert' phenomenon compose the soundtrack.  See stills below.
