At the webpage of Performa 13 the following, among other things, is written about Yes Nix:

"Wrånes works primarily with the voice and sculptural installation: combining the two in her dynamic live performances. From a forty person strong multi-levelled musical performance in an LA parking space that included bodybuilders, cyclists and accordion players on trolleys (SPIN ECHO, Art in the Parking Space, LAX Art, 2012) to staging a surreal concert in the trees with Wrånes hanging from her hair, her site- specific performances challenge audience and singer alike."

Yes Nix by Tori Wrånes was supported by the Norwegian Ministry for Foreign Affairs/MFA (travel grant/performing arts).
