Biography

Rich Gilbank is a New Media artist from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, currently entering his fourth year in the New Media program at Ryerson University. With this program, he has studied under such influences as Norman T. White, robotic-art pioneer, and David Bouchard, a graduate of the MIT Media Lab's Fluid Interfaces group. Recent projects include a tangible sequencer interface, Tempaural, which implemented physical blocks for the sequencing of audio samples, allowing one to literally build their own soundscape. Some of his other projects are heavily oriented toward making visible the effect of computing culture on society and feature metanarratives of the interaction between humans shaping technology and technology shaping humanity. He is thrilled to be involved with MKL on his first artist-in-residence program, and looks forward to returning to Austria on future projects.
