realiTV
"realiTV" deals with the almost ubiquitous streams of information: satellite TV. It is located at the intersection of two main ideas. It exploits live TV and retrieves new raw material for an aesthetic collage process. The installation operates on the sublime layer of our perception: the machine unleashes a stream of images at such a rate that there is no time to reflect or to construct something like an artistic comment or context. The background of the project is set in the VJ scene. The artists developed a new kind of automated, computer-based video mixing device which processes, in real-time, several live TV images received via satellite. "realiTV" is not only a collage of moving images, but it represents a snapshot of the "ubiquitous global media reality" at any given moment.
