Media - Me (Media Minus Me)

Media - Me (Media Minus Me) was exhibited as part of SubZero 2009 in the Remote/Control show at Works/San Jose. All hail the progenitors of culture!

This project deals with feelings of media bombardment, surveillance, personal irrelevance, disconnection in our ever advancing society and a lack of a media Legacy. An old style video camera and an eighties style cabinet TV with bent rabbitears inhabit the space. The subjects facing the camera and television are displayed as silhouettes of static while the -background remains crisp and clear. The rabbitear antenna on the TV can be manipulated by the viewer to increase/decrease the reception of those inhabiting the TV screen space. This is my farewell to analogue television. May you rest in peace.
