About EclectikTronik

Ben Roberts / Eclectiktronik, (Wirral, Inglaterra, 1976) has been active since 2004 (in Spain), developing audio-visual and sound installations using mainly electronic waste and found audio and video materials.

The use of found materials and modified equipment, the by-products of a society based on unsustainable consumerism – in preference to the latest mass – produced hardware – reflects a critical approach to artistic production and one in which chance, spontaneity and improvisation can be allowed to underpin artistic creation.

Recent activities include participation in festivals: Basurama (Madrid), Eolica (Tenerife), Das kleine fieldrecordings festival (Berlin) and International Noise Conference (Madrid). Eclectiktronik audio pieces have been broadcast by stations such as Resonance FM (UK) y Radio Aporee (Berlín).

Eclectiktronik’s three main lines of work are : Installation, Performance and Workshops, not necessarily interconnected or taking place together.

Sobre el artista

Ben Roberts / Eclectiktronik, (Wirral, Inglaterra, 1976), lleva desde 2004 (en España) desarrollando instalaciones sonoras y de audiovisuales utilizando principalmente restos electrónicos, y grabaciones de audio y video de desecho.

El uso de estos objetos encontrados y modificados – los restos de una sociedad de consumo exacerbado - refleja una postura y una metodologia de producción crítica, y un afán por la casualidad, la espontaneidad y la improvisación.

Recientemente ha participado en los festivales de: Basurama (Madrid), Eolica (Tenerife), Das kleine fieldrecordings festival (Berlín) y International Noise Conference (Madrid). Sus obras sonoras han sido emitidos por cadenas como Resonance FM (Reino Unido) y Radio Aporee (Berlín).
Su trabajo artístico se divide en tres líneas de acción, Instalación, performance y taller, que pueden ser complementarios entre sí, y simultanearse en el tiempo o no.
