Ro(b)//ert Lundberg

Ro(b)//ert Lundberg makes music, drinks water, plays with images and words. Their solo work focuses on the interaction of human infrastructure and the spaces it inhabits. Through slowly shifting rhythms in sound, language, and video, they attempt to reorient audiences to more-than-human relations hiding in plain si(gh)t[e]. Drawing sonic inspiration from the glitch minimalism of Ryoji Ikeda, the tuneful experimentalism of Arthur Russell, and the engrossing trance of Hamid el Kasri, Lundberg constructs performances that unsettle presumed relations to pipes, property, pollution. Now based in Chicago, they have performed throughout the United States, Canada, and Europe at venues and festivals such as Big Ears, Roulette Intermedium, Norwegian BioArt Arena, and CURRENTS New Media Festival. They perform solo and in outfits ranging from improvising ensembles to art rock band JOBS, with collaborators including John Dieterich, Max Jaffe, Lia Kohl, Jessica Pavone, Zander Raymond, and Dave Scanlon. They studied music at The New School and law and environmental art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
