McIntyre is a writer, sound practitioner and radio artist working out
of Dunedin, New Zealand. She has a history in independent radio
production, and since 2008 has programmed the Mini FM station Radio
Cegeste 104.5 as a small-radius platform for site-responsive radio art
events. Her work oscillates around themes of site-specificity,
nomadism, the non-monumental memorial, the collection of sound
libraries, phonography, museology, translation and transcription,
memory, the haunted materiality of absent presence, old buildings and
other historic sites, psychogeography, the performative fragility of
small-scale transmission, bird migration and electromagnetism, the
complex idea of 'dead air', the recorded and transmitted history of
birdsong (sometimes also as a sonification of a New Zealand
nationalism), and the possibility of an ecology of the radio that
doesn't represent unstable systems as functioning in eternal
homeostasis. She has initiated projects in environments from the most
remote to the most populous, such as ‘soundtracks for the
city’, scoring urban Melbourne on inner city street corners with
a portable record player by playing stacks of discarded library music
on 10” disc from the channel 10 TV archives, to a set of
recordings of gallery spaces destroyed in the 2011 Christchurch
earthquake played back to an artist-run gallery space in another city
about to lose its lease, to a series of EVP recordings of extinct
native birds held in museum collections, transmitted back into remote
wilderness areas of the New Zealand bush. Sendungen im ORF KUNSTRADIO: 27. 04. 2014: Radius 14. 01. 2024: Sterbende Welt redux: |
