scanner
Multi-media artist working in sonic arts and spreading the virus of ideas across the globe
Scanner, British artist Robin Rimbaud, traverses the experimental terrain between sound, space, image and form, creating absorbing, multi-layered sound pieces that twist technology in unconventional ways. Born in London, Scanner is committed to working with cutting edge artists from a varied range of genres including dance, music, and the visual arts. Since 1991 he has been intensely active in sound art, producing concerts, compositions, installations and recordings, the albums Mass Observation (1994), Delivery (1997), and The Garden is Full of Metal (1998) hailed by critics as innovative and inspirational works of contemporary electronic music. His diverse body of work has been presented throughout the United States, Asia, Australia and Europe.
He doesn't drink alcohol, tea, coffee, smoke or watch TV but he does have an addiction to bread and milk, and has kept a diary every day since he was 12 years old, never missing a daily entry.
