Scanner (British artist Robin Rimbaud) traverses the experimental terrain between sound and space connecting a bewilderingly diverse array of genres.
Since 1991 he has been intensely active in sonic art, producing concerts, 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. He scored the hit musical comedy Kirikou & Karaba (2007) and Narnia ballet (2015), designed the sound for the new Philips Wake-Up Light (2009), and campaigns for Nike (2011), Chanel (2012) and The Stella McCartney (2016). His work Salles des Departs is permanently installed in a working morgue in Paris.
Recently Scanner designed the campaign for Sprint phones in cinemas across America, reaching 2.5 billion spectators, scored The Big Dance in Trafalgar Square for 1000 dancers and the re-opening of the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, in the company of Queen Beatrix in 2012. Committed to working with cutting edge practitioners he collaborated with Bryan Ferry, Wayne MacGregor, Mike Kelley, Miroslaw Balka , Steve McQueen, Laurie Anderson and Hussein Chalayan, amongst others.
