Pall Thayer (Iceland)
Pall Thayer (1968) is an Icelandic artist. He graduated from the
Icelandic College of Art and Crafts in Reykjavik, Iceland in 1999 with
a background in mixed-media. As a Nord-Plus grant recipient at the
Helsinki Academy of Art, he began experimenting with computers and the
Internet as artistic media in 1997. Since then he has created several
works that explore different methods of interaction in the creation of
generative, real-time audio/visual abstractions on the Internet. His
current work focuses on the automated appropriation and mixing of
material rather than direct user interaction. His work has been
exhibited widely at festivals and group shows such as Nordic
Interactive in Copenhagen, Transmediale in Berlin, The Boston CyberArts
Festival, Hipersonica/File in Sao Paulo and PixxelPoint in Slovenia. He
has lectured and participated in panels at the Icelandic Academy of the
Arts, PixxelPoint and ISEA2004. In 2004 he organized the Trans-Cultural
Mapping: Iceland Inside and Out workshop in locative media for Lorna,
The Icelandic Organization for Electronic Arts, of which he is an
active member. Since 2000, he has taught courses in digital arts at the
Reykjavik School of Art. He is currently pursuing his MFA at Concordia
University in Montreal, Quebec.
