«Wipe Cycle»
With nine monitors and a live camera, «Wipe Cycle» transposes present-time demands as a way to disrupt television’s one-sided flow of information. In the exhibition «TV as a Creative Medium,» the installation was constructed before the elevator. So each visitor was immediately confronted with his or her own image. But the monitors also showed two video tapes and a television program. The installation, which made visitors a part of the information, was rigged in a highly complicated fashion: in four cycles, images wandered from one monitor to the other delayed by eight or sixteen seconds, while counter-clockwise a gray light impulse wiped out all the images every two seconds.
