Anton “Factotum” Lord is an AV Technician based in Perth, Western Australia and CEO of the multi-disciplinary design / fabrication / installation company Factotum Industries
In his own words “an artist trapped in a scientist’s body”.
His adventures include a blend of audio, electronics, solar, wood, metal and composites.
After several decade of designing lighting, sound and “atmosphere” for clubs, events and festivals he began turning his hand towards large scale public sculpture.
A long association with Blazing Swan as participant, former Committee member and Ranger saw the first few pieces displayed and the (r)evolution soon began.
A number of his other works including Whisper Tree, pixelled() and Cross x Talk have been exhibited at festivals, events and public exhibitions throughout the state.
