ARTIST BIOS & LINKS:

2TOMS aka Thomas Behuret & Thomas Fontin are a French A/V partnership
par excellence. They have worked together for over two years in
various multimedia exhibitions and will be performing together
remotely from their homes in Paris & Lyon.

Thomas Behuret is a Paris based photographer working for musical
magazines such as Vibrations & R&R.
He's artistic work is centres on the city and the influence of urban
architecture on the people who live there. His starting point is 'The
human in the city' and deals with notions of absorption, anonymity
and standardisation of lifestyle that is reflected in city living. He
has shown his work in exhibitions in France & Canada the most recent
being a multimedia photographic installation "Eautopsie" for the
event "Eaux arts el ectroniques " and "Extension d'un vide" in
collaboration with Thomas Fontin for the exhibition "Desert", both
organized by Champ Libre, in Montreal.

Thomas Fontins' introduction to electronic music goes back to the
free party movement of the late nineties while he was studying
musicology at Paris University. After finishing his MA he decided to
specialise in sound and video game design and is currently working as
a sound designer for Eden Games, a video game development studio
based in Lyon. He explains his compositional process as simple and
pragmatic starting with the manipulation of concrete audio and
textures. "Chaos, improvisation and chance always hold a central
place in my compositions leading to a process that is both humorous &
experimental. My principal inspirations are multiple but I remain
easily influenced by the city and urban deserts, which are like a
mirror of our present society".

John Kannenberg creates quietly reflective works in both image and
sound that blur the boundaries between intention and accident.
Incorporating techniques derived from free improvisation, musical
composition, field drawing, minimalism, cubism and abstract
expressionism in their construction, his works deal with a variety of
themes including primal natural forces, spirituality and mindful
contemplation, melancholy and nostalgia, abstracted narratives, and
the confluence of sonic and visual art.

John's work has been presented in the United States, Europe and
Australia, including appearances at the John Cage Musicircus at the
Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, the so.cal.sonic festival in Long
Beach, ISEA 2004 in Tallinn, the Biennale of Electronic Arts in
Perth, the Version Festival in Chicago, the Placard Festival in New
York, the MAXIS festival in Sheffield, and several broadcast
appearances on Resonance 104.4 FM London. He has released recordings
on Crouton, Topscore, Grain of Sound, Retinascan, Earlabs and Cohort,
and has been a co-presenter of the Something Else radio program on
WLUW 88.7 FM Chicago.

Since April 2002, John has served as the creator, designer and
curator of Stasisfield.com, an experimental music label and
interdisciplinary digital art space presenting works by a diverse
collection of artists from around the globe.
