‘The Invention of Radio Spectrum’ - spectropia presentation
This is a summary of the paper I (Zita) presented this morning at the Spectropia conference in Riga.
This paper is an archaeological excavation of this thing we call the radio spectrum, it’s a history of how the radio spectrum came to be discovered, articulated, and ultimately invented as an apparatus of power. This is an argument against treating the radio spectrum as a thing, a pregiven, natural, material object.
