Radio Glaz (Radio Ear)

Dziga Vertov

Published on by Philippe Langlois

“The Cine-Eye inseparable from the Radio-Ear. Let us be clear once more: the eye, the ear. The ear does not eavesdrop, the eye does not spy. A division of functions. Radio-Ear is the montage of the ‘I hear’. Cine-Eye is the montage of the ‘I see’. By proposing the fusion of cine-newsreels and radio-newsreels, it is confident of achieving: ‘a parade of the kinoks on Red Square, should the Futurists publish the first issue of the radio-newsreels using montage’ ”.
