Requiem for Radio is a body of interactive works based on the disappearance of shortwave radio transmissions. Requiem for Radio: New Dead Zones is an interactive gallery installation in which 13 theremins are sited to represent the towers at the Radio Canada International (RCI) shortwave site in Sackville, which after 67 years of transmission closed in 2012 due to budget cuts.
