TVolution will not be televised

15.-16.02.2014 19:00-22:00 @ Zagreb Dance Centre Television is a public medium that has seen its golden era come and go. TV was a companion to the post-war trente gloriueses of democratic welfare states. Now it is again a companion to their dismantling. Throughout the 50s, 60s, 70s and well into the 80s it was a generator of shared experience, a mitigator of a bourgeois public sphere, an ideological apparatus reinforcing political hegemony. But since that period the commodification has slowly shifted TV’s social function from a public service to a marketing machine, replacing information with entertainment, expertise and education with opinionated and partisan commentary, public interest with attention-value. TVolution will not be televised is a counterproposal to the television as we know it. This performative installation is a short-circuit television environment populated by performative interventions in the field of the melodramatic as the dominant social sentiment of our age. Concept: BADco. Performers: Darija Doždor, Zrinka Užbinec Costumes: Silvio Vujičić TVolution will not be televised is run using the algorithmic live video system (ALVES) that was developed in collaboration with the German human-machine interface developer Daniel Turing. Coproduction: BADco. and SKOGEN Pridružite nam se u TV sesiji izvedbene instalacije

TVolution will not be televised

15.-16.02.2014. 19:00-22:00 @ Zagrebački plesni centar Televizija, javni medij, pratilac poslijeratnom usponu države blagostanja, no medij čije zlatno doba je prošlo. Komercijalizacija televizije pomiče njezinu društvenu funkciju iz one generatora zajedničkog iskustva prema marketinškom stroju. Danas, kada je suputnik razaranja te iste države blagostanja, televizija kao medij simptomatično odražava fragmentiran društveni doživljaj tjeskobe. TVolution will not be televised je protuprijedlog televiziji kakvu poznajemo. Ova izvedbena instalacija je zatvorena petlja televizijskog okoliša napučenog izvedbenim intervencijama u polju melodramatskog kao dominantnog društvenog sentimenta naše epohe. Koncept: BADco. Izvodjacice: Darija Doždor, Zrinka Užbinec Kostimi: Silvio Vujičoć TVolution will not be televised koristi ALVES  sustav za algoritamsku montažu video materijala uživo nastao u suradnji s njemačkim dizajnerom sučelja Danielom Turingom.
