2017年にニューヨークに滞在した際、つい暇を持て余してしまい、宿に鎮座するTVをぼんやり眺めていた。当時アメリカは、台頭する差別主義による分断やフェイクニュースが広まり社会は混乱し、ニュースは深刻なムードが漂っていた。しかし、ひとたびチャンネルを変えるとドラマやコメディ、宗教の説教、消費欲を煽るCMなどの視覚情報で溢れかえった。

本作では、TVのデジタル信号を乱れさせてグリッチノイズを生じさせ、画面をリアルタイムで流れる番組を撮影した。メディアが映す元々の偶像の輪郭は崩れ、シーンがマダラに混線した世界。TVが現代の洞窟の壁に映し出す明るい世界で、蠢く電子を使って画をつくった。

When I stayed in New York in 2017, I had a lot of free time on my hands and was idly watching the TV sitting in the inn. At the time, the news was in a serious mood in the US, with society in turmoil due to the divisiveness caused by rising racism and the spread of fake news. But once I changed the channel, I was inundated with visual information, including dramas, comedies, religious sermons and commercials that fueled my desire to consume.

 

In this film, the TV's digital signal was disrupted to create glitchy noise, and the programmes were filmed as they flowed across the screen in real time. The contours of the original idols projected by the media collapsed and the scene became a madder, blurred world: a bright world projected by TV onto the walls of a modern cave, where the picture was made with writhing electrons.
