ABOUT STEVE THOMSEN and his ART Projects:
Notable endeavors included site-specific installations and modifications within the Disneyland theme park.
The collective would alter the park's attractions by leaving battery-powered cassette decks playing soundtracks and recordings they had created.
They also affixed incongruous items to the scenery within rides and removed and cataloged "liberated" park elements as artifact-like art pieces.
MORE ABOUT STEVE THOMSEN and his MUSIC Projects:
For the past 35 years Steve Thomsen has been active at the heart of the west-coast avant-garde art and sound-art scenes.
Thomsen first gained the public’s and critics’ attention within the underground art community of Los Angeles in the late 1970s when he co-founded World Imitation, an art collective which sought to respond in new and expressive ways to the three-way collision of visual and sonic art, physics and contemporary American mass-consumerist culture.
In the process Thomsen helped to form Monitor, one of the Los Angeles area’s most uncompromisingly experimental and influential art/music bands of the late ’70s and early ’80s.
