The
Ecstasy of Small Change The TV tower projected wall filling images
from each of five tvobscuras. These synchonized videotapes formed a 270
degree panorama in the room with each channel of video having its own associated
audio. The images and sounds blended creating a continual surrounding fleabotic
episode. The detritus on the floor, the subjects of the episode only became
visible after long minutes in the darkened room. Given the
absence of light and the softness of the projections the images on the
preceeding page required an 8 minute exposure
to document on film. The central tv tower is of variable height, composed
of tvobscuras - televisions as projection devices, a panopticon pulled
inside out. The room dimensions were 20' square with a ceiling approximately
9' high. The room was descended into via a darkened stairway, arrival signalled
by the sponginess of the prepared floor surface. The episode played continuously,
looping every 7 minutes.
