Anna Friz is a sound and radio artist who divides her time between Montréal and Toronto. 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. She creates dynamic, atmospheric works equally able to reflect upon public media culture or to reveal interior landscapes.

Anna has presented installation and performance works across Canada and in international media art contexts such as the Third Coast Audio Festival, Chicago; Digitales, Brussels; Club Transmediale, Berlin; Ars Electronica, Linz; the Fifth International Biennial of Radio, Mexico City; and Arte Nuevo Interactiva, Yucatan. She has produced numerous original radio works for independent radio across Canada and the U.S., and for public radio in Canada, Germany, Austria, Denmark and Mexico. Anna has also worked as a sound designer for dance, theatre and mobile applications.

Her multi-disciplinary performance in 2005 with Annabelle Chvostek, The Automated Prayer Machine, has been received warmly around the world.

Anna is a free103point9.org transmission artist, and a doctoral candidate in the Communications and Culture programme at York University, Toronto.
