Maia Urstad

Norway, b. in Kristiansand. Lives in Bergen.

Bergen National Academy of the Arts (KHiB) 1981. At that time member of ska/new-wave group “Program 81”.

First sound art work: Where are the Monuments? with artist Sissel Lillebostad, 1987.

”Since 1987 I have developed ‘sound in art’ projects for installations, site-specific concerts, theatre and films. My recent projects use CD and cassette-radios for both sound transmission and as sculptural objects. The sound-textures for these projects are made from found/concrete sound sources, particularly radio broadcast signals. At present I am investigating sending multi-channel FM transmissions to multiple radios. My work derives from the challenge of integrating sound into specific locations”.
