Timothy Laszlo Sandor

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Timothy Laszlo Sandor (b. 1974) is an American visual and performance artist, who sometimes records music under the pseudonym, Platinum Bitch.

Identifying with social movements such as Transhumanism and Anarchism, Sandor is philosophically opposed to copyright laws, and is a staunch advocate of DIY production, as well as the Internet, and peer-to-peer file-sharing networks as a means for the creative community to bypass the RIAA and corporate influence over music production and distribution.

He has published music in an Open Source format, whereby a song is treated as a work-in-progress, subject to revision by anyone who wishes to collaborate on it, so long as the work itself remains copyright-free.

Tim Sandor was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1974. He studied painting at Pratt Institute, in Brooklyn, New York, but dropped out of art school shortly thereafter. He has since studied psychology, education, addiction and sociology. In addition to Brooklyn, Sandor has lived in Portland, Oregon, as well as various cities in Florida.

He currently resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
