Canadia: Land of Myths and Media

Radio Broadcast Cabin in the Woods

For 4 days long everyone was able to enjoy a live evolving audio collage consisting of interviews, commentary, music and fun.

The Audio-streaming was running all through the day and night with both live and pre-selected material. Plus between 4 and 8 pm everyone could add their voice to the transmission through interviews, discussions, and workshops.

This was a collaborative project and installation by Robyn Moody, Brian McKenna, Denton Fredrickson (Gallery Potemkin, The Phonies, etc...) and Kinga Kielczynska.

Our public-opinion correspondent (and experienced trapper) had relayed live interviews with random participants from the streets of Amsterdam into the broadcast space.
