Since the mid-1960s, artists and musicians have begun setting up shop along parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, from natural radio and brainwaves, to the gamma of nuclear radiation. Even visible light. To account for this surge in artistic energies, it is necessary to go back to the 19th Century and rewrite the history of communications technologies in terms of nature.
