Listen Up! is the first publication worldwide to take an in-depth look at the development of Radio Art in the United States as a distinct sound art practice. Analytical essays by leading media art historians and practitioners discuss the ways in which a new field took shape in the context of changing broadcast environments and sociopolitical realities from the 1960s through the 1990s. The essays provide engaging reading for scholars, radio producers, and artists, as well as radio enthusiasts and lay audiences. Also included are manifestos and other texts written by Terry Allen, Jacki Apple, John Cage, Don Joyce / Negativland, Max Neuhaus, Pauline Oliveros, Helen Thorington, and others. The material vividly reflects the zeitgeist of the period and proposes trajectories for new research into fascinating yet still largely unexplored territories.

Are computer simulations theory, experiment, or something in between? Anne Dippel and Martin Warnke explore the epistemological status of computer simulations. By examining the erosion of concept-based truth in the digital age in combination with pathways of knowledge in physics, they offer a media ethnography of the famous quantum physics double-slit experiment and its simulation. Recognizing simulations as central to shaping reality and multiplying illusions, the authors propose \"operational realism\" as epistemic composure in the digital era. The work raises ethical questions about algorithmic world design, offering humor, revelations, and insights into new ontologies of knowledge.

Post-digital art suggests a form of embodiment of digital technologies that unfolds in physical space through hands-on material approaches, and even the repurposing of older analogue media.Pedro Ferreira examines these aesthetics in contemporary audiovisual arts as reactions to our post-digital condition.

Organizations are not only functional structures but equally defined through their humans, objects, spaces and practices in relation with each other. From this perspective, Jana Faßbender and Luca Marie Tüshaus engage ethnographically and conceptually with the contemporary art exhibition documenta fifteen. Offering a deep dive into its preparation, execution, and impact through immersive fieldwork, they explore the exhibition's unique atmospheric forces and organizational aesthetics from within. This rich and reflexive investigation is composed entirely in dialogue, and proposes a new vocabulary of atmospheres in organizations.

Their comprehensive exploration unveils alternative contexts and dimensions of early ethnographic knowledge production, providing insights into a history of social knowledge that surpasses disciplinary, national, and genre-related boundaries.
