Reactor

I randomly selected a broadcast television programme. For me that serves as a kind of symbol or artefact of our time. Its effect, spread around the entire world, in principle has an unfailing influence on a lot of people and has the potential powerfully to change the collective consciousness of our planet.

​

The television emitter that people sometimes powerlessly and unwittingly stare at, sometimes even as though gazing at an omniscient light, is overcharged in this hypnotic vortex. A fundamental difference, for example, from the Internet is that we can only listen to this one-way vortex but there is no way that conversely through it we can respond. Thus I aim to emphasise it here with respect to the position of the ordinary viewer as something that is an already uncontrollable natural phenomenon, full of colours, rhythms and authentic sounds.
