FREEDOM HIGHWAY is a project about mass media and American public discourse. Over a nearly two-year period after 9/11, the project monitored and intercepted talk radio programming from around the United States. The resulting audio footage was then assembled into an audio performance and a gallery installation, an deeply troubling “audio self-portrait” of America as rendered by the nation’s political and religious radio broadcasters, and as overheard or intercepted by a listener who is not the intended audience of these broadcasts.
Premiered during “Treble” at the Sculpture Center (New York) and produced with the support of the Canada Council for the Arts. Thanks to Federico Marulanda, Anna Friz, Simon Piette, Martha Stiegman, Thomas McIntosh, and Joe Klein.

“Un panorama sonore d’une Amérique en boucle sur elle-même… une pièce d’une brûlante actualité.” — Libération, Paris 2004.05.21
“Le résultat ne ressemble en rien à un documentaire radiophonique qui juxtaposerait une multitude d’extraits d’émissions. C’est plutôt un gros “trip” sonore qui en déroutera plus d’un.” — La Presse, Montréal 2004.09.15
