current work on the family

April 24, 2006

At the moment the video footage is being worked on, still waiting on some equipment to start the editing process, the final footage will be bits of commercials and television programing throughout the day. The content from tv will map out a day in the life of the family.  The cycle will start with an alarm clock going off and the parental tv turns on and shows commercials for coffee and shower gels, breakfast stuff, the alarm goes off again, as if the parent is waking the kids, and their tv's turn on with similar content.  The original idea had more interaction within the piece. for example, the two kids would begin to bicker back and forth with the volume rising and rising until the parents tv turns off and screams at the kids to shut them up, and then their tv's would both show some children's program, as if they were put in front of the tv as a form of punishment .  The day cycle will go through the morning, afternoon, evening, and night, once into the sleep phase, lights shut off, tv's switch to blank screens or some other screen representing sleep.  Once the piece reaches the sleep phase of the day cycle it will stay in that mode until some on walks up on the piece and triggers a motion sensor. Sorry no pics as of yet.
