Timothy Dwyer, better known by his stage name Horse MacGyver (and formerly by the stylized moniker ///▲▲▲\\\[2]), is an Australian artist and electronic musician from Canberra.[1][3]

Dwyer received a Bachelor of Arts from the Australian National University School of Art in 2008.[4] He curated the Australian dates of "Embrace Failure," the international performance art tour of John Kilduff of Let's Paint TV fame, which were held at The China Club in Newcastle as part of the Electrofringe festival in 2009.[5][6] Dwyer got in touch with Kilduff and invited him to come to Australia after encountering his work on Let's Paint TV.[7]

In 2010, Dwyer released an untitled EP under the name ///▲▲▲\\\ on the American label Disaro Records, which was limited to run of fifty hand-numbered CD-Rs.[1][8] Due to the EP's scarcity, the songs from it were combined with new material and released later that year as a full-length cassette-only album, Void, on both Dwyer's own label Bad Sound and the Canberra-based label Dream Damage.[1][9][10][11]
