The Future of Radio

The Future of Radio_2017 Retro Future, Treat Gallery pop up exhibition - Manhattan, New York - May 11

The image titled " The Future of Radio" is a digitally manipulated image from my collection and embraces the "Retro Future" theme of the exhibition. The development of the radio began in 1893 with Nikolai Tesla’s demonstration of wireless radio communication in St. Louis, Missouri. If you were listening to radio in the 1930s, you probably had a lot on your mind besides music. Sixteen percent of the country was unemployed, and the Great Depression was showing no signs of letting up.
