Commissioned thematic podcast by media artist Britt Wray for XX Files Radio Project

Step into the online drawers of the XX Files where moments spent on air in years past are called into the present with a single click. The Mashup - a recombined and modified collection of existing media files into a new digital format - is the style chosen for this podcast to create links between a panoply of discussions that traveled the CKUT airwaves at some point in time over the last 14 years. The listener eavesdrops in on a variety of women media artists as they give their two cents on subjects that range from how they perceive technology in art driven practices, to how to address the human body in techno-art, to how community radio can be an artist's creative catalyst abroad as well as at home. These cuts, collages and cochlear closeups give the listener a taste test of what the XX Files Project has restored (and in store!) for people to access in the Matricules Archive.

Britt Wrayis a radiophilic media artist whose work mainly focuses on experimental modes of science communication and exploration in sound and visual media.
