This book explores the central themes and techniques of artist-made radio emerging from over
20 years of practice by a multitude of artists in the field. It brings to the page excerpts of
long-form radio works from the world's largest exhibition of radio art Radio Art Zone a joint
project by the artist duo Mobile Radio (Sarah Washington & Knut Aufermann) and the Luxembourg
community station Radio ARA which was broadcast for 100 days as part of the programme of the
European Capital of Culture Esch2022. Interspersed with newly commissioned works ranging from
micro-essays and texts on radio form practice and poetics to radio plays and illustrations
it is full of unique images which allow the imagination to expand outward into radio space.
Radio Art Zone performs an exquisite transformation from airwaves to paper providing a
treasury of ideas and reflections about radio as art.
