Hinterculture

Hinterculture reveals the outlying history, art, technology and business of the high desert through mining sites for social, cultural and aesthetic meaning. We document hidden stories, natural and manufactured, to expand perception and understanding—sharing our discoveries and revealing a new public image of the desert, via collaborations and events, broadcasts and social media.

Hinterculture creates the Llano del Rio Mobile Interpretive Unit

Using a recycled crate, research and trash collected on site, the Mobile Interpretive Unit offered an audio introduction to the Llano del Rio Colony in Llano, CA. The utopian experiment existed until 1918 in the Antelope Valley, while comrades began crating their belongings for New Llano in Louisiana in 1917.

Sonic Trash

Created for an education presentation about Illegal Dumping, and inspired by Alyce Santoro's Sonic Fabric made of re-purposed cassette tape, Karyl Newman collected a couple of e-waste-d tape players (thanks Jason at the Lancaster HHW recycling center!) and hacked the play heads. We find cassettes and VHS media dumped in the desert all the time. An illegal dumping bumper sticker holds the magnetic tape in place while scratching the playhead.
