This interactive installation deals with TV broadcasting as material, one of the most universal media in our daily life, and reveals how TV can be different from the conventional one through realtime demolition / reconstruction made possible by using information technology.
All TV channels of ground wave broadcasting in Yamaguchi are constantly
measured and analyzed from various angles including image and sound,
and images generated from those results consist of a structural body,
which is ceaselessly updated on the screen.
This structural body that is continuously generated in front of the audience can be compared to sediment, and is one of the symbols representing TV broadcasting that is constantly discharging information regardless of our will in everyday life. This work is also a homage to the non-interactive system called ground wave TV broadcasting that had finished its role prior to the appearance of the Internet, though the introduction of various possibilities was examined such as conversion to an interactive system.
Commanding a bird-eye view or looking up at this structural body, the audience will be able to find out about a tacit "atmosphere" surrounding us, of which we cannot make mention in everyday life.
