“The project’s documentation of Canadian radio art is admirable.”
- Lisa Sack, The Village Voice

Did you know that as the Titanic was sinking, amateur radio operators clogged the airwaves and, ever since, radio regulations have limited free play on the airwaves? This juicy historical tidbit is just one of many in the essays and artworks in this book that re-open free play on radio. From philosophical, historical and cultural analyses to poetic writings by artists, this unique reference explores radio culture and the unusual range of activity possible when contemporary artists use radio as their medium. Radio will never sound the same again after reading this book.

The book is also available with a 60-minute CD of radio artworks.

Daina Augaitis is currently Associate Director/Chief Curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery. She is the former Director of the Walter Phillips Gallery and Associate Director of Professional Practice in Media & Visual Arts at the Banff Centre.

Dan Lander is an editor and artist living in Toronto. He is co-editor of Sound by Artists and a regular producer of radio artworks that are aired internationally.
