Anna Friz is a sound and radio artist who divides her time between Toronto and Montreal. Since 1998 she has predominantly created self-reflexive radio for broadcast, installation or performance, where radio is the source, subject, and medium of the work. From the childhood fiction of "the little people in the radio" to documentary remixes of live political events, she creates dynamic, atmospheric works equally able to reflect upon public media culture or to reveal interior landscapes.
Anna has presented installation and solo performance works incorporating low-watt FM transmission at the Western Front in Vancouver, Sea of Sound Festival in Edmonton, Send + Receive Festival in Winnipeg (2000, 2004), Tone Deaf Festival in Kingston, Studio XX, Suoni per il Popolo, Rad'a Gallery, and the Société des arts technologiques in Montréal, Deep Wireless in Toronto; as well as at free103point9 gallery in Brooklyn, PS 122 in New York City, the Third Coast Audio Festival in Chicago, the Fifth Biennale of Radio in Mexico City, Ars Electronica 2002 in Linz, the Akademie der Künste, Berlin; and Radio Revolten, Halle Germany. She has produced numerous original radio works heard on independent airwaves in more than 15 countries; and for national public radio in Canada, Austria, Germany, Denmark and Mexico.
