TV Clock
Materials:
1. 12 TV monitors set up as a round face of a clock, each TV represents an hour.
2. Specific (cable) TV shows which play at that exact hour for 1 hour in am/pm.
3. not sure the size
Process:
1. each TV set will play a TV show for an hour, the rest will be off/idle.
2. it'll go around the clock
3. someone needs to figure out how to synchronize eastern standard time to trigger or have TV show played at that hour.
--> a TV show rerun of time-->no such real time, only marked on the circular face-->TV show signifies 'segmentation of time into the domestic sphere', in which, an hour long episode (including commericial breaks) measures/solidifies a 'TV of the Self'--> TV abstracts time from the viewer-->the body/person as 'clock'--> death.
*concept inspired by David Morley's essay "The Construction of everyday life: political comunication & domestic media."
