About this book

Acoustic signals, voice, sound, articulation, music and spatial networking are dispositifs of radiophonic transmission which have brought forth a great number of artistic practices. Up to and into the digital present radio has been and is employed and explored as an apparatus-based structure as well as an expanded model for performance and perception. This volume investigates a broad range of aesthetic experiments with the broadcasting technology of radio, and the use of radio as a means of disseminating artistic concepts. With exemplary case studies, its contributions link conceptual, recipient-response-related, and sociocultural issues to matters of relevance to radio art's mediation.

»Das Buch [gibt] einen tiefen Einblick in die Spannweite des Radios, speziell als Kunstform. Und so kann man gar nicht anders, als nach dem letzten Kapitel zu hoffen, dass Radiokunst in Zukunft noch mehr Aufmerksamkeit bekommen wird.«
