Television Behaviour Experiments is a participatory audio video work for live television broadcast that explores the intrinsic electronic nature of analogue television. The live television studio will be installed with a number of interactive analogue electronic televisual experiments that have been developed using heirlooms from television history and esoteric technologies including analogue synthesis, closed circuit and feedback setups, and bio sensing. Through these series of experiments with prepared instruments for televisual performance, audience members will be invited to participate in the creation of experimental media and engage with the apparatus of analogue television, encountering its reflexivity, liveliness, connectivity, ethereality and fragility.
Performance by artist and Eden Falk
