Finlay's practice deals with the intersection of human consciousness and technological development through communication infrastructure. Powergrids, telephone lines, radio and internet transmit information and are visible anchor points for unseen forces. Through the process of constructing non-functional communications methods, Finlay has shifted the purpose of these objects from direct, active connection to spatial and cognitive transfers of information. His practice manifests as installations of wire grids, networks of timber and digital processes that the viewer must physically navigate. The element of interaction between the viewer and space is a core tenet of Finlay’s sculptural practice, whether it be through the physical disruption of movement, or the occupation of the electromagnetic field through transmissions of sound and data.

Rather than these works being active within their own networks and series, human interaction and perception serves as the means of activation and transmission.
