Visual and auditive media are getting the same attention and the dispute on media is dealing with art, theory and technology. The chair for Experimental Radio, which was established in 1999, is the only one in Germany which teaches radio in the context of fine arts. This artistic practice is understood as an open field which supports interdisciplinary approaches, in the range from aesthetic operations, newest technological developments and even political activism. The request of the Bauhaus Radio Reader is to give the students the opportunity for a self-determined recess on international discourses. There is a special emphasis on texts which locate radio in arts, in the culture of streaming media or which help the students to analyse the history and development of radio. The Radio Reader is first of all meant for the Bauhaus radio department and could be turned into a real book if we all think that it is worth presenting it to a publishing house. Other schools can of course use the reader too. The collection of essays should be copy left so that everyone can use it and it works more as an open source for the dispute which allows additions and inconsistence. A board of editors who overview by virtue of their outstanding knowledge and experience in the field of radio, art and media theory will be adressed to sample the texts. The selection will run by a small email-list and for further discussion collected at news://radiostudio.org/reader.discuss The Radio Reader should be seen a small, informal (xerox) follow-up of the Semiotext(e) publication Radiotexte, edited in 1992 by Neil Strauss. There is no contemporary radio reader available at the moment which reflects what happened to radio in the nineties. It could therefor be good to discuss together which key texts there are these days which deal with "broad radio", a re-invention of radio in the age of digital technologies, electronic music hype, the Internet, mp3, the further spreading of micro, free and pirate radios and the rave/club scene and net.radio of course. We could also include a few examples such as B92 but also Ruanda (where radio played a very dubious role). Then there is of course the section of classic radio texts (which keep on being rediscovered) and examples how artists deal with radio.
