Sonic and visual artist John Kannenberg (b.1969)
has been exhibiting art and performing music
for more than fifteen years. His major audio
and visual works deal with a variety of themes
including primal natural forces, spirituality
and mindful contemplation, melancholy and
nostalgia, abstracted narrative tales, and
the confluence of sonic and visual art. His
quietly reflective works in both image and
sound blur the boundaries between intention
and accident while incorporating techniques
derived from free improvisation, musical composition,
field drawing, minimalism, cubism and abstract
expressionism in their construction.
John has performed, exhibited and curated
work in the United States, Europe and Australia,
including appearances at the 2004 International
Symposium on Electronic Art in Tallinn, the
2004 Biennale of Electronic Arts in Perth,
the 2004 Version Festival in Chicago, the
2003 Placard Festival in New York, the 2002
MAXIS festival in Sheffield, and several broadcast
appearances on Resonance 104.4 FM in London.
He has released recordings on the Crouton,
Topscore, Retinascan, Earlabs and Grain of
Sound labels, and is one of a rotating group
of co-presenters of the Something Else radio
program on WLUW 88.7 FM in Chicago. He has
collaborated with numerous artists and musicians
including Sabrina Raaf, Glenn Bach, Neil Jendon,
Scott Kane, Achim Wollscheid and Philip von
Zweck. John is also a member of the collective
of sound, visual and interactive designers
known as J3.
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.
