Current Affairs Multi-media event marks 100th anniversary of first wireless voice transmission
Prague's Roxy club was the venue on Wednesday evening for the Czech part of an annual event entitled Art's Birthday (as in the birthday of art). This year's theme was the 100th anniversary of the first wireless transmission of the human voice. Art's Birthday has its roots in the 1960s Fluxus movement and the only condition is that it must be an international exchange. In this country, Czech Radio's Vltava station broadcast the event live on the airwaves and on the internet. I spoke to the station's Michal Rataj just before it began.
