About
**Scanner: Harry Smith at 100**
Harry Smith (1923–1991) was a great American eccentric, experimental filmmaker, musicologist, graphic designer, bohemian and anthropologist. He was also a collector of found objects and sounds, including the world's largest known private paper aeroplane collection. *The Anthology of American Folk Music* is perhaps his most famous contribution.
British artist Robin Rimbaud, also known as Scanner, has been invited by the Harry Smith Archives to celebrate the 100th anniversary of his birth by performing live scores to a wide selection of his films. This includes: Mahagonny, Friends of Harry Smith (Jordan Belson, Robert Frank, Jonas Mekas, Allen Ginsberg, etc.), Early Abstractions, Heaven & Earth Magic.
For this event, Scanner will be performing a live soundtrack to Smith's *Early Abstractions* (1946–57) and *Untitled Seminole Patchwork* (1965–66) films.
Scanner has been intensely active in sonic art since the 1980s, producing concerts, installations and recordings, connecting a bewilderingly diverse array of genres. Committed to working with cutting edge practitioners he names Bryan Ferry, Wayne MacGregor, Mike Kelley, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Michael Nyman, Steve McQueen, Laurie Anderson and Hussein Chalayan amongst his previous collaborators.
