Imagined as a radio station operating from the room where Adolf Hitler was born, “The Hit House” focuses on the ecstasy of yesterday. Transmitting short, aggressively optimistic musical bursts, the station covers architectural proposals, attempts to analyze the microclimate of Hitler’s birth room, and provides a space for local advertisement. Part sound sculpture, part satire, the project reflects on the collective fascination with the past—and its ideological traps.
Nobody boogies with the past like The Hit House.

Often containing performance and proposal simultaneously, Seth Weiner’s work employs a wide range of media in which he explores the gaps between architectural fiction and social convention to create both actual and imagined spatial environments. In 2008, Weiner began the music project of Sadie Siegel, using his great-grandmother’s name to collaborate with himself and explore sound as an extension of touch, expression of space, and a way to create impossible places. Since 2018, Weiner has been the Artistic Director of Palais des Beaux Arts Wien, a nonprofit museum-like entity that serves as a mobile place of remembrance and projection for what was lost during National Socialism.
