Scott Sinclair is an audio-visual artist working in sound, video, performance, and installation. Using a highly interdisciplinary approach, Scott creates brutal and humorous collages of audio-visual media incorporating elements such as computer music, cracked video art, found objects, custom-made costumes, and improvised performance. His work is often concerned with the over-stimulation of these elements to bring about states of intensified noise delirium.
As a performer, Scott is known for his highly energetic and unpredictable performances which are often equal parts brutal avant-garde and equal parts low-brow trash. His concerts have found audiences on many tours in Europe, Australia, Japan, Russia, and North America. Scott currently performs in the audio-visual groups Botborg, Secret Shots, The Superusers, and his solo noise-karaoke project Company Fuck.
He lives and works in Berlin, Germany.
