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 . From his early controversial work using found mobile phone conversations, through to his focus on trawling the hidden noise of the modern metropolis as the symbol of the place where hidden meanings and missed contacts emerge, his restless explorations of the experimental terrain have won him international admiration from amongst others, Bjork, Aphex Twin and Stockhausen. Scanner is committed to working with cutting edge practitioners and has collaborated with artists from every imaginable genre: musicians Bryan Ferry and Laurie Anderson, The Royal Ballet and Random Dance companies, composers Michael Nyman and Luc Ferrari, and artists Mike Kelley and Derek Jarman. As well as producing compositions and audio CDs, his diverse body of work includes soundtracks for films, performances, radio, and site-specific intermedia installations. He has performed and created works in many of the world's most prestigious spaces including SFMOMA USA, Hayward Gallery London, Pompidou Centre Paris, Kunsthalle Vienna, Bolshoi Theatre Moscow, Tate Modern London and the Royal Opera House London. Paul Farrington, AKA TONNE This prize-winning visual artist and designer has made visible the work of Scanner, Pole and Spring Heel Jack among others, linking sound with visuals that vary between elegantly simple lines to multiple layers of superimposed imagery. Tonne's interactive sound interfaces allow music to be produced as responses to the movement of graphics, and vice-versa. By manipulating sound utilities, Tonne builds toys, games, interactive environments and soundbanks. Developing and producing controlled systems for sound and image interaction, Tonne has performed live at Sonar (Barcelona 2000), FCMN (Montréal), Expanded Cinema (Milan), Lovebytes (Sheffield), and Steim (Amsterdam). Tonne was awarded Creative Review's Creative Futures Up-And-Coming Graphic Designer of 1999. Recently Tonne has been commissioned by the music label Meta to release recordings of his sound toys.
