When I was young, I half-believed that the voices emanating from the radio were the voices of the little people who lived inside. Turn on the radio, the little people begin to talk, change the station and they change their voices. I imagined the radio people waited inside while the radio was off, ever ready to perform at the click of the dial. who are the people in your radio? returns to 1950, to a world of the future as imagined by the past: when television was about to take over as the new mass medium of choice, and when there were still goups of little people in the radio, living, working, fighting, and sowing the seeds of mutiny. Visual design and consultation by Jan N. Desrosiers. Anna is grateful for support from the Canada Councilfor the Arts, New Media and Audio Art programme.
Media artist Don Sinclair collaborates with Christian Calon and Chantal Dumas on the new media interface 'Around Radio roadmovies'. The work draws from soundscapes and images collected during Dumas and Calon¹s cross-Canada trip in preparation for their work Radio Roadmovies. The new media work will be presented in two formats: an interactive computer installation at the Drake Hotel throughout May, 2005, as well as on the deepwireless.ca web site.
