Artworks

Black Habit is a series of field recordings that trace the path of electricity -- from taking a piece of coal out of the ground to switching on a light bulb. Not easy sounds to record, and they took the sound artist Philip Samartzis three years to do.

Black Habit is a collaboration Philip has done with Michael Vorfield, whose pictures sit alongside the sounds.

'Heat: art and climate change' is on show at the RMIT Gallery in Melbourne, until October 18.
