Television just sucks. Sitting in front of the average BlackBox,
all you can do is change the program, adjust the volume or
switch it off.
The usage is really simple, but the reasons why the TV
machine works remain obscure.
The aim of TVicious was not to deconstruct the TV,
but to change the usual ways of
TV operation and perception.
|
The user enters a huge box shaped like a TV and faces a
monitor installed inside.
With a Set of different sensors, mounted on the walls and
floor of the instrument, the incoming TV-signal can be
manipulated in realtime.
Several audio and video filtering methods, eg. ring modu-
lation for pitch-shifting the sound or dynamic magnification
and multiplication of the image, can be simultaneously
applied to resynthesize the original TV program in manyfold
ways.
Regular Satellite TV was digitized and fed through a Max/
MSP/Jitter patch. The CV signals coming from the sensors
were converted to midi data which controlled the para-
meters of the effects.
