The
television flux is taken in terms of potential,
a potential of images, movements and signs. Every
time a fragment of image changes during the broadcasting
of a television programme, it is extracted in real
time through an automated process. Those are captured
and recast, in a spatial-temporal way, on a twenty-four
images loop. When shown frame by frame to the spectator,
it’s the broadcasting itself that is modified
as each fragment of image is kept in memory and
potentially repeated several times. The hypnotized
mind gets used to the fragments, waits for them
to reappear and may even try to re-configurate them.
But the intended persistent effect doesn’t
prevent the progressive erasing of the configuration,
as each fragment added to the loop is only present
and repeated until a new one gradually replaces
it, driving it slowly into disappearance and oblivion.
