Hollander Philips

Abstract

Holland Phillips is a journey through the headquarters of the first stations from Bogota, Colombia, such as HJN, La Voz de Bogota, Radio Cristal or Radio Cristobal Colon, La Voz de La Victor, Radios Clandestinas and Ultimas Noticias, founded between 1930 and 1940. Based on sound archives of broadcasts of these radio stations, preserved by the sound library of RTVC (Radio and Television of Colombia), a public intervention emerges through a mixture of sounds of that time and interviews, recovering memories of the first generation exposed to the radio introduction in Colombia. The intervention takes as scenario the urban architecture of the selected path (*see on the map below) and merges it with radio sounds from 1930 to 1940, inviting pedestrians of all ages to shape, in a spontaneous way, the audience to whom it is addressed.
