MEDIA ARTIST

Colby Richardson is a media artist, experimental filmmaker, and sound artist currently based in Toronto ON, Canada. Driven by a fascination with underused media technologies and by the way we interact with and value the technology at our disposal, Richardson’s work examines the artistic capabilities of tools and devices often unconsidered and dismissed.
