Lecture Zwischen Königs Wusterhausen, Eberswalde, Nauen, Kamina, Windhoek und Dar es Salaam
with Dieter Daniels, Frederike Moormann and Angelika Waniek
Venue:
Museum Eberswalde
Steinstraße 3
16225 Eberswalde
There are many claimed beginnings of German radio - for example in Eberswalde, in Königs Wusterhausen or in Berlin. So what remains of the radio beginnings? Except a new experience of simultaneity. And the potential of media community.
A second, hitherto less known history of telecommunications in Brandenburg leads from Nauen via Kamina in Togo to Windhoek, then the colony of German Southwest Africa, now Namibia, and to Dar es Salaam, then German East Africa, now Tanzania. This has the potential to reverse the perspective on German radio history.
The contribution is dedicated to two artistic-scientific projects: On the one hand the radio play ONE TO MANY (2021) about the question when radio will be 100 years old. And on the other hand the current research project about the telegraphy and radio connections to the former German colonies, as well as the infrastructures of telecommunication, their colonial past, colonial present, the parallels between the infrastructure of the German colonial period and today's internet infrastructure.
