Radio: An instrument in art – with reference to selected works by Polish artists
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 November 2023
Abstract
This article explores the role of the radio as an artistic instrument. It discusses both contemporary and historical art experiments, namely those where the sound of the radio or the form of radio reception is an important aspect of the final work. We examine the question, ‘What does it mean for a radio to be an instrument?’ And to clarify, we mean any kind of instrument, not just a musical one. To answer this question, this article focuses on the concepts and theory of those Polish artists who have used radio in their artwork, either as the source of a particular type of sound or as a medium that collects and transmits the sound of its surroundings.
