Lecture:
Radio and transmission artists have long sought to transform radio from
an apparatus of information diffusion to an apparatus of communication;
contemporary transmission artists also propose radio as an apparatus for
sonification of the electromagnetic spectrum, for experiencing radio as
instrument, as landscape, and as space of social self-consciousness and
reverie. Pull radio out of the studio and out of the box, radio becomes
a frame for a series of relationships, near and far; of visible
gestures meeting invisible electro-magnetic interactions; of a circuit
that brings formerly far-flung bodies into contact, allowing for
something unexpected to happen.
Anna Friz will give a lecture and listening session on the history of radio and transmission art, the predominant conceptual concerns among transmission artists, and discuss her own artistic practice.

Workshop:
These 3 days will provide an opportunity for exchange, collaboration, contestation, and idea generation. The goal is for the group to consider different approaches to sound, signal, performance, and urban space, and to germinate new works for presentation/broadcast in January 2014. Anna Friz will introduce and facilitate discussion on the City at Night concept, including historical dimensions of urban life after dark, and consider various examples of artistic practices which activate or critically engage the idea of the city. Participants will each give a short presentation of their work to the group. The group will work together to generate ideas, concepts, practices, and give feedback; and may also undertake some experiments or explorations of city space.
