 Robin Rimbaud (aka Scanner) is a conceptual artist, writer, and musician working in London. He first attracted attention when he started using ‘found’ mobile phone conversations in his compositions. Using a hand-held scanner, he trawled the airwaves for sonic artefacts to use in his work, developing a form of music that is emotively rich and immersive, twisting technology in unconventional ways to find new worlds of sound. Exploring the terrain between sound, space, image and form, Scanner has been practising sonic art since 1991, producing concerts, installations and albums from Mass Observation (1994), Delivery (1997), and The Garden is Full of Metal (1998), and Of Air and Ear – a six hour live audio visual work at the Royal Opera House (2008). Collaborating with light artist Sophie Clements the piece takes the form of a 12m x 5m 'playable' light sculpture resulting in a dialogue of colour, music, texture and light. Among his other works Scanner has scored the hit musical comedy Kirikou & Karaba, designed the sound for the new Philips Wake-Up Light and collaborated with a range of artists, including Bryan Ferry, Merce Cunningham, the writer and critic Sukhdev Sandhu, Steve McQueen and Wayne McGregor. His work has been presented throughout the United States, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe.
