CMTV

This is the title I will use for my CCTV related work. Closed Circuit Television becomes Closed Minded Television. This hints at the controling nature of television and the gallery system. It also refers to GMTV, and suggests about the everyday influence of TV in our lives. I do believe it is a bit negative. The work is supposed to act as a comment on culture and not an attack.
The performance piece will have two musicians. One singing Hank Marvins Heartbeat ( used by ITV for the TV show) the other will play Tony Heart's Heartbeat (kids TV artshow). The violinist will play into a mic in a dummy CCTV camera to trigger video footage of a gallery surveilance system and the signger will sing into a mic in a TV remote control to trigger video off of TV. The song refers to the nature of human life, the organic creature and the mathematical dictations of life. The geometric nature and institute of art education and the gallery compared with the beauty of innocent creation. Both shown in mediums of mass consumption, the TV and the computer screen.
This is art. Art is on the wall. Spot goes to art. Spot is happy...
