David Arkenstone Barnett

David Arkenstone Barnett is a photographer/painter/singer and metaphysical entrepreneur who resides in the town of Kaiapoi New Zealand. Originally from London England.

​

Predominantly known in NZ for his work in Ufology (the research of UFO's & UAP’s), David's direction in life has been one of personal development and self-discovery. David's life direction changed quite dramatically in 1986 whilst serving in the NZ Navy, when David's ship encountered what is classified as a USO or an 'Unidentified Submerged Object', in this scenario the encounter left the naval vessel incapacitated and adrift. This life changing experience as well as many others David was to have over the next 36 years has been encapsulated into a group of three unique lectures David has been presenting to the general public for many years.

   

As well as the UAP phenomena and for many years now, David has also been researching on the fabled city of Atlantis and has come up with a profoundly new hypothesis on this legendary civilization which incredibly includes New Zealand. David lectures on this and holds many discussions about Atlantis.

​

In 1990, David presented to the scientific community a profoundly new hypothesis pertaining to why wales and dolphins globally strand in key locations. Called the 'Derailment Theory' it explained that cetaceans were being greatly effected by electromagnetic interferences to their navigation system. These 'lines of force' are a manmade phenomena (by Tesla) and an offshoot to what is a natural planetary phenomena known as the 'Anti gravity grid system'. In 1991 this body of work was not only accepted but has become the main reason for these global stranding's.    

​

David's art is based on his metaphysical beliefs and experiences gained from his travels and research around the world and is based on a style of linear abstract, gold/silver/copper leaf abstract and planetary constellation pieces.
