It was almost exactly 100 years ago, on the 1st October 2024, when the first Austrian broadcasting company RAVAG first went on air. Since then, a lot has changed in terms of radio and audio media. DIY devices and expensive furniture radios have been replaced with compact home-based devices, then followed portable radios and convenient Walkmans as well as all sorts of oddities. Inventions like the audiotape or speakers had an influence on the way we listen to media. On the 100th anniversary of radio and broadcasting, we open the exhibition at Museum im Zeughaus that traces the invisible waves into the past along cultural phenomena and the cornerstones of engineering.
