Final Project




television.

"The television generation is a grim bunch." --Marshall McLuhan



We, the smartphone generation, is the grimmer bunch. But we love television because it is getting old-fashioned. Nowadays, the images are much more defined, sounds are all Hi-Fi, you have access to huge screens and internet everywhere. But for a real television world, you don't get to choose much. 

Televisions make things blurry, fuzzy and glitchy, because they are so old. I wouldn't call those gigantic monitors with mysterious boxes attached televisions. They at best can have the name "TV". 

You can't deny it: bringing back all old technology is becoming a trend. Art students love film cameras now, that's cooler than a thousand dollar DSLR and you don't even have to shoot great images as long as you take Instagram pictures of you holding the camera. In this sense, televisions are cool, too. Black-and-white makes everything seem simpler, but it makes our minds go wild.

technologies used in this project: ImageGlitch (iOS app), Garageband, RAD VHS (app), Adobe Premiere pro
