Angelo Picozzi/manwithxrayspecs@yahoo.co.ukJanuary 29 MMVI (multi-channel deconstruction) clipMMVI symbolically deconstructs the authority of television as a medium, by literally deconstructing the sanctity of the TV set itself as an object - to be represented as an icon, broken of its authority and rebuilt out of its own parts.
This is a clip of a multi-channel work, in which 4 monitors are used to deconstruct the turning off sequance of the monitor. MMIV confronts the viewer with a monitor that is in the process of constantly switching itself off. The sequence slows progressively, stretching the length of the off sequence from its 1 second duration, toward a virtual stasis. MMVI explores collective/mass experience and individual isolation by deconstructing the cathode ray signature. MMIV explores the viewers relationship with an everyday object, and the viewers relationship to/with the screen and its imagery and sound. April 07 00:00:45:00
00:00:45:00 takes its form from a found roll of film of 15 photographs, which upon inspection contained within its sequence 3 photographs taken in Hiroshima, Japan, sometime shortly after the atomic bomb ‘Little Boy’ was dropped over the city. 00:00:45:00 takes its temporal duration from the length of time it took ‘Little Boy’ to explode over the city from its release from the ‘Enola Gay’. 00:00:45:00 was not conceived as a memorial to the man who took these images, nor is the work a protest or celebration of war. This work is an investigation into the two-dimensionality of the picture plane and potential of photographs to contain varying levels of reflection, opacity, and transparency. I hope these photographs evoke a certain ambiguity, an oscillation between reflected and actual reality; that invites inspection of the space and the meaning of the image. 00:00:45:00 is now on permanent display as part of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum, Japan.

The natural element of water is progressively reduced to its digital essence - a series of pulsating patterns of light on the surface of a glass screen. 00:06:03:08 subverts and exposes the nature of monitor/television imagery/sound and the viewers relationship to and with the screen. 00:06:03:08 focuses the viewers gaze toward a sequence of imagery upon a screen that is in the process of digital atrophy. This piece explores progressive digital decay.
