This discovery layed out the foundations of wireless communication and the electric / electronic mass media. 1956 John Cage's “RADIO MUSIC” premièred in New York. The “surfing” through electromagnetic waves in Cage's piece becomes a precisely composed, but in the result randomly sounding live performance. In the late 60ies Robert Barry creates installations consisting entirely of radio waves which were sent but not received. | ||
