On the air and in the ground
As a radio and transmission artist, Anna creates works for broadcast, performance, and installation which utilize the radio spectrum (AM, FM, shortwave, VHF/UHF), transmission systems and/or instruments; she also works with the VLF portion of the electro-magnetic spectrum to receive and transduce electrical fields created by the sun’s activity on the Earth’s atmosphere or fields generated by human-built objects, infrastructures and environments. As a sound and media artist, her projects involve practices of listening and noticing, intensive field work and field(s) recording in places as diverse as the industrialized desert of northern Chile or the gopher-mined barrens behind her tiny backyard. In this talk, Anna will discuss recent projects blending observation with fiction, and acoustic spaces with transmission ecologies.
