	3am Review: JANET CARDIFF, GEORGE BURES MILLER AND PHILIP DICORCIA: WHITECHAPEL ART GALLERY, LONDON (JUNE-AUGUST 2003)
		Cardiff and Miller's cut-up images flow smoothly yet incoherently on the screen as the viewer is now led from the threatening subway into an ornate, baroque house.
		Cardiff and Miller's use of impressionistic imagery and powerful mood conjure up reminiscences of a Raymond Carver story: powerful moments when one's life is transformed, immeasurably, completely, forever.
		Emerging from the dichotomy of calm and neurosis present in the film room, the viewer passes Cardiff and Miller's video exhibit of a burning house: a flaming wooden structure, alone on a darkened hill, strangely evocative and reminiscent of a literary image from a despairing Anton Chekhov or Guy De Maupassant narrative.

	Janet Cardiff in London/ Artfocus
		This idea is carried through in the piece itself, because as Cardiff generates a sensed reality through sound, she concurrently carries through a narrative in the first person voice--one heard in a disjointed way--that describes the internal dialogues that are carried around as one walks down the street.
		In a conversation with Janet Cardiff, Ralph Rugoff described The Missing Voice (Case Study B) as "a film soundtrack layered on reality" which reminded him of "a Sophie Calle piece where she had a private detective follow her around".
		Janet Cardiff, The Missing Voice (Case Study B) is on view @ Whitechapel Library, 77 Whitechapel High Street, London, England from June 17,1999 thru 2000.

	A World of Sound - Aruna D'Souza
		Janet Cardiff has created installations that use sound and visual effects to give the viewer a sense of disconnection from the world.
		Much of Cardiff's work and her collaborations with Bures Miller rely on active participation (to go on the walk, to explore the room, to run hands over the table) or at least a refusal of the spectator's usual passivity (as in the film works).
		Cardiff's work forces you into imagined relations with spectral presences that surround you, relations that can be profoundly comforting, as in Forty-Part Motet, or threatening, as in The Paradise Institute, while simultaneously pointing out your powerlessness in the face of the spectacle taking place.

		Canadian artists Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller received a special jury prize at the 2001 Venice Biennale for their installation The Paradise Institute, in which sounds and images blur the boundaries between film and observer.
		Cardiff I think that support of the arts, like big grants and all that, is important, but I think the money would be better spent if it could go to residencies for good young artists and curators, in places like Berlin and major centers like London and New York....
		Janet Cardiff spoke with François Lachapelle, head of visual arts at the Canada Council, in the fall of 2001.

	victoria ludwin on janet cardiff audio walk in central park
		Janet Cardiff capitalizes on this privacy in her audio walk; she intimately draws us in to a monologue that appears to meander from topic to topic, although these fragments of ideas and stories have been as deftly placed as stones in an archway, each supporting the whole.
		Cardiff asks the viewer to take out photographs of the woman with long fl hair at different points, exact places where the photos of the woman were taken.
		Cardiff wonders about the woman and her life, tries to eke out hints from the photographs about who the woman was.

	POWER PLANT \| JANET CARDIFF (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		While the visual background of Forty-Part Motet is not unimportant, Cardiff’s emphasis on the three-dimensional or sculptural qualities of sound is what distinguishes her work as a visual artist.
		Janet Cardiff is one of the rising stars of the art world today, one of the few Canadian artists to enjoy an international career.
		Janet Cardiff’s Forty-Part Motet is generously supported by Lazard, Victoria Jackman and Bruce Kuwabara, Nancy McCain and William Morneau, Laura Rapp and Jay Alan Smith, Evan Siddall and Toronto Friends of the Visual Arts.

	Janet Cardiff
		Cardiff’s works involve the conventions of cinema and science fiction and explore the complexity of subjectivity in today’s highly technological world, where the distinction between sensation and imagination continuously collapses.
		In Cardiff’s "Walks," characters narrate dreamlike recollections of particular events, and refer to the participant’s physical surroundings.
		Janet Cardiff was born in Brussels, Ontario, in 1957 and lives and works in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada.

		Relayed in Janet Cardiff's quasi-narrative style, Her Long Black Hair is a complex sensory investigation of location, time, sound, and physicality, interweaving stream-of-consciousness observations with fact and fiction, local history, opera and gospel music, and other atmospheric and cultural elements.
		Cardiff and Miller represented Canada at the 2001 Venice Biennale with The Paradise Institute, a 16-seat movie theater where viewers watch a mystery film and become entangled as witnesses to a possible crime that plays out in the audience and on screen.

	Janet Cardiff, Wander Woman
		Speaking through headphones, Cardiff introduces the philosophical basis for her (and your) imminent stroll by discussing water, memory, change and the art of James McNeill Whistler.
		As soon as Cardiff mentions Whistler, it's obvious that the tour will head in the direction of the Freer Gallery, home of the flamboyant Peacock Room that Whistler designed and that was ultimately relocated, just like Smithson's bones, from Britain to the District.
		Cardiff's cool delivery and deadpan quips recall the work of Laurie Anderson, another conceptual artist who works primarily with sound and words.

	artnet Magazine - Ms. Cardiff Goes to Washington
		Cardiff’s tour begins in the Hirshhorn lobby looking out at its open-air, disc-shaped fountain, which is quite large and has a gushing waterspout at its center.
		Cardiff provides a rich tapestry of sound effects -- joggers, political demonstrators, noisy kids and what might be called auditory icons of history, such as snippets from the Rev. Martin Luther King’s 1963 speech, for instance.
		Cardiff’s finale is very theatrical and a bit corny (Old Man River, again), though her vision is startlingly quirky and always imaginative.

		The 2001 prize went to Lethbridge, Alberta-based Brussels, Ontario, native Janet Cardiff, working in collaboration with her husband and finally fully credited partner, George Bures Miller, for The Paradise Institute, the latest in a revolutionary series of "audio walks" that have taken Europe by storm.
		The way Cardiff and Miller play with the evocative power of sound owes a lot to fellow Canadian superstar Glenn Gould, who pioneered the oral tone poem concept for his 1967 Centennial project, The Idea Of North (the first of his famous Solitude Trilogy of radio documentaries).
		Cardiff and Miller expand the North formula by setting their composition on a particular location and then physically leading the viewer through the site.

	Janet Cardiff - Cornerhouse
		The Walk Book offers some associative aids to Janet Cardiff’s binaural audio walks, in which participants are equipped with a portable CD player or video camera, and directed through a site.
		Cardiff creates immersive, experiential events which frequently have a strong narrative component that plays out in a three dimensional soundtrack, allowing the audience to become part of the story.
		Cardiff’s sites are not static, but are sets of possible references and relationships between the inner space of the walker (or, in this case, the reader) and their external environment.
