Live Televisualisations: the Static Qualities of the Cathode Ray Tube, 2016-2018

Live Televisualisations features a 1980s CRT television positioned on a plinth in the middle of the gallery space. The work focusses on the camera and the CRT television in a similar way to Nam June Paik’s "TV Buddha", 1974. In a further exploration of the themes explored by Paik, a video camera is pointed at the television screen sending a digitised live video feed of the CRT screen to six projectors positioned underneath and within the plinth. The projectors fill the space with multiple images of static, broadcast live directly from the camera capturing the CRT screen. Four monitors are positioned in the middle of each wall displaying digitally manipulated live images of the space captured live by four USB cameras. The work places the analog within a digital space, yet explores the contradictions inherent in what seems to be a simultaneously material and immaterial space, exploring the nature of broadcast images.
