[The User] is a contemporary art collective comprised of architect and installation artist Thomas McIntosh, and composer and sound artist Emmanuel Madan. This Canadian duo has attained wide international recognition for their ground-breaking projects Silophone and Symphony for Dot Matrix Printers, which re-imagine relationships between technological systems, culture and human experience in striking ways. [The User]’s installation practice is characterized by experiential clarity, conceptual sophistication and technical accomplishment. The artists’ juxtaposition of recycled and contemporary technology has produced innovative and evocative statements concerning repetition, instrumentality and subjectivity. [The User]’s projects can be described as ‘emergent systems’ involving the orchestration of real-time processes that manifest themselves for an audience in a specific presentation space. Appreciation of [The User]’s work by audiences and curators has led to a significant number of exhibitions, presentations and awards in the international media arts milieu.
