Toby Kaufmann-Buhler (based in Lafayette, Indiana) explores sensory perception, identity, history and memory through his work in image, sound and space. This involves the integration of a number of different media including video, film, found/composed sound, and text along with installation and performance work. He has produced collaborative work with a number of musicians, composers, poets and visual artists, and he continues to exhibit installation work utilizing custom-designed video projection in gallery venues and for performance and stage work.
