CONTROL
Henner’s satellite works reveal infrastructures normally hidden from view: military outposts, oil fields, feedlots, and energy grids. These projects transform landscapes of secrecy and extraction into images that appear abstract yet are rooted in political and economic realities. By exposing how power inscribes itself on the land, Henner shows us that control is not an invisible force but a visible system hiding in plain sight.

From hurricanes pressed onto vinyl to accidental strangers singing in unison on YouTube, Henner collapses the distance between remote events and our immediate experience. These projects explore how signals, voices, and forces travel across networks, binding us to people and places far beyond our reach. Transmission highlights the uncanny intimacy of connection in an age of ceaseless circulation.

In Artifice, Henner turns art itself into raw material. Through erasure, appropriation, and machine learning, he reworks the icons and systems of art history — from Robert Frank’s The Americans to Gerhard Richter’s blur and Ed Ruscha’s word paintings. These projects question originality and authorship while uncovering how images, markets, and cultural myths are made. Here, art becomes both subject and medium, a material to be remixed, contested, and reimagined.
