(ABOUT)

Windsor/ Detroit's Thinkbox is a self-curating media collective,
created to explore technological works and contemporary media
in relation to both gallery and commercial distribution networks.

Thinkbox reflects the varied interests of its members. Much of their
collective output to this point has involved the creation of large
scale new media installations, of video projections, of performances
in gallery settings, as well as occasional forays into the more
experimental aspects of club culture. They have also delved heavily
into web-based MP3 projects, and have released two CD projects,
SETTINGS (2003) and GUITAR (2004). A third CD project, FIELDS,
is currently in progress.

Collective and/or solo member performances have occurred at the
following major venues and festivals: Movement (Detroit's Electronic
Music Festival), USA / Cranbrook Museum of Art, USA / New Maps Festival,
Montreal / Deep Wireless Festival, Toronto / Vancouver New Music's
Dangerous Currents Festival / The Ann Arbor Film Festival, USA /
Mutek Festival (a 3-hour collective showcase event for the 2004 edition).
Thinkbox was selected as one of URB magazine's "Next 100 Artists for 2004".
Their CDs are distributed in Canada by THE CANADIAN MUSIC CENTRE

:::: For this PING show - their first visit to Toronto as a collective -
Thinkbox will be represented by multi-media and electronic sound
collage artist MARK LALIBERTE, film & video artist CHRIS McNAMARA
and sound & video artist STEVE ROY.
