John Dekron and realities:united RealiTV 2004, Germany

RealiTV deals with the use of almost ubiquitous high bandwidth information streams: Satellite TV. It is located at the intersection of two major ideas: On one hand it exploits live TV - intended to be the final product - and retrieves new raw material for a further creative, highly aesthetic (i.e. relevant), fast and subversive collage process. At the same time however it removes some boundaries which are often kept in artistic work. The machine unleashes a stream of images at such a rate and intensity, that there is no time to reflect and to construct something like an artistic comment or conduct. The machine short-circuits the world of commercial TV and the subversive dance club with all possible consequences.
