"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.

'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.

Sonic Postcard from Rotterdam
Radio Program hosted by Audio Foundation:Sound artist, Joshua Thies and Urban Researcher Veronica Olivotto set out to discover white noise and pollution in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Hailing from The United States and Italy respectively, the two have called Rotterdam their home for the past 5 years.
"As the largest port city in Europe, Rotterdam is resonating with the sound of industry from container yards, major shipping lanes on the river Maas, freeways across the lowlands, public transit and a small airport on the outskirts of the city. Noise pollution, from those and other sources, is perceived as a problem in the city, causing sleep disorders, increasingly forcing families to move to quieter locations out of the city.
One of the deterrents of noise pollution, ironically, can be ‘white noise’, a competing constant or recurrent sound, dissolving into the local environment. In this postcard we aim to search for samples of noise pollution and white noise in the city, find the meaning of these notions as well as possible points of overlap or ambiguity.”

Re:Rotterdam 2013
Solo Exhibition: Joshua ThiesArt Fair from 6-10 February. 'Non-action at a distance' is a title that attempts to describe the fundamentals of this work. Both the drawings and the video work were inspired by many hours floating around our virtual Earthscape otherwise known as Google Earth. It is not only about the patterns we can see from such a distance as that of orbiting satellites but also what gazing at our planet can mean for our sense of ownership or possession of territory. The images in the 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. In the drawing I wanted to capture various ways of seeing surfaces at both micro and macro distances. Therefore the images you see 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.
