Ro Lundberg

Ro(b)//ert Lundberg is a water drinker ~ infrastructural thinker ~ music, word, and image tinkerer. Through shifting rhythms in sound, language, and video, they attempt to reorient audiences to more-than-human relations hiding in plain site. 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 builds performances that unsettle presumed relations to pipes, property, pollution.

Now based in Chicago, they have performed internationally 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 bands HIGHSIGH and JOBS, with collaborators including John Dieterich, Max Jaffe, Lia Kohl, Matt Mehlan, Ryan Packard, Jessica Pavone, Cyrus Pireh, Zander Raymond, and Dave Scanlon. They studied music at The New School and law and environmental art at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
