Note: this book is in German. Radio, which developed over the course of the 20th century into a crucial form of communication, is currently undergoing processes of fundamental reorganization under the general heading »digitalization.« When considered under the older term »radiophonics,« these processes unleash conceptual possibilities that surpass the simple scheme of economization or the acceleration of production- or broadcasting-forms. These conceptual possibilities were addressed by the exhibition Radiophonic Spaces, as well as by the conference Radiophonic Cultures–Sonic Environments and Archives in Hybrid Media Systems, at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, november 2018 in Berlin.
Vol. 1 Radiophonic Cultures presents the current state of the discussion revolving around radiophonics, including its history and possible future, in light of the questions raised during the conference.
