Radius is featured in the new issue of The Sick Muse in the article Someplaces: Radio Art, Transmission Ecology and Chicago’s Radius by Anna Friz.

Friz writes “Radius neatly unites radio and transmission art by embracing the production of artistic content for broadcast, sampling existing content for artistic expression, and artistic use of the electro-magnetic spectrum generally. Radius functions as an intermittent exhibition space and as an intervention into the predictable daily grind of the FM dial.”

Radius highlights Episode 81: Anna Friz Echophone in the next program of our ongoing SKETCHPAD Series produced for Wave Farm. The program features a re-broadcast of previous Radius Episodes, and is followed by an audio playlist selected by the featured artist.

Anna Friz Echophone 13:58

Statement:

Responding to the idea that radio measures and allows for relationships over distance and time, Echophone is a radio based installation that reveals itself to visitors as they explore the Museum of Arts and Design, searching for and tuning into transmissions from beacons which are placed throughout its interior. Radios and headphones can be checked out from the admissions desk to experience this piece. Each individual beacon can only be heard in close proximity to its physical location, and are tuned variably to 107.9FM, 1600AM, or 1620AM.
