cityTV – A.R.T. of reality

tele-visions from the city's gut
2005



A vacant premise in Jakoministrasse is physically defined as the inside of a tv set. Situated behind the shop window (functioning as the tv screen) there is a walk-in public production control room. The program that is produced finds its input directly in the urban space. The program of the day, always composed freely and consisting of most diverse tv genres, is presented every night - „broadcasted“ via tv sets in various shop windows and cafes. the urban image is thus (re)integrated into the townscape with all its diverse realities.
