LIVE TV!

live streaming via Skype

this work has been a part of the Biennale WRO

Test Exposure exhibition in Wrocław, Poland I2015I

A real-time broadcast on Górnickiego Street is a Skype transmission of “life somewhere else”. TV connected to the internet is a main tool that allows the audience to interact with characters from the screen. Images from different cities and countries devoid of illusion, show us global interiors and streets in a real time. TV as a “window to the world” presents it’s real surroundings bordered by different time zones. Everything being set in “multiple times” and yet happening at the same one. The work is located in one apartamnet in the town house. It has a site-specific approach: by using an old tv (connected to the internet) I match the interior design and create a possibility of interacting with people via TV screen.
