1991 – 1998
LADA – L’Arte dell’Ascolto (The Art of Listening)  was an independent international festival dedicated to radio and art held in Rimini, Italy from 1991 to 1998, curated by Roberto Paci Dalò with the collaboration of Isabella Bordoni, produced by the artist group Giardini Pensili with varying collaborators and coproducers. LADA was a project in continuous evolution to reaffirm a creative approach to radio, conceived of as a place and a medium aggregating to other languages. LADA included radio works, concerts, live radio drama, performances, films and videos, installations, debates, and radio broadcasts (on the Italian and austrian national Radio, RAI and ORF respectively, and other stations) and, in 1995, saw the launching of Radio LADA as one of the first online radios. Every annual version of the festival was achieved with minimal economic resources, and it was all possible thanks to the collaboration of artists, scholars, and technicians participating with sincere enthusiasm and collaborative spirit.
