This exhibition delves into the 100-year history of radio, exploring its transformation from a vital mass medium to its current role amidst a crowded media landscape. Through 100 photographs, it visually examines the behind-the-scenes of radio production, showcasing how invisible waves have shaped society and politics, and how radio continues to resonate emotionally with listeners.

Curatorial context

Marking 100 years since its inception, radio has remained a constant presence in daily life, whether through speakers or podcasts. Simultaneously, like all media, it faces challenges from increasing content and declining trust. The House of Austrian History uses this anniversary to reflect on how radio has changed, its functions, and its impact. This exhibition, 'Senden, stören, streamen. Radio in 100 Bildern,' visualizes the behind-the-scenes of radio production over many decades. It questions how society and politics have been audibly altered by invisible waves and what makes radio connect not just with ears, but deeply with hearts. Across its transformations, the characteristic blend of entertainment and information, along with the emotional power of sound, music, and human voice, plays a significant role.
