Interferencia

“Interference” is an inspiration from Fricke’s, Christiane. (1999). “New Media”. My intention was to represent yesterday and today. Where as nothing changes, but transforms. Where there is not only one way of communicating, where like the media they mutate and provide new means.

Technical, aesthetic and conceptual development

In the technical development, several factors were taken into account, such as the contrast between the old and the current. My approach was simple, I used the image of an old television as a means to communicate what was next. The back is made up of a collage of old artifacts (newspaper, television, camera and a telegraph), we transfer them to the present (digital newspaper, smart television, cell phone and computer), the current was with transparency, I wanted the “reflection” to be noticed how they overlap. I created a button which, when pressed, shows different images. In the last three, the works of the text called the “Father of VideoArt” Nam June Paik were taken. Who mentions that “he did not treat the “box” as an object. His interest focused on the aesthetics of the images produced and distorted throughout his interventions, that is, in the software.” My approach was looking for something similar, my real noise was not in what was outside, but rather what I wanted television to be most pregnant, what it transmits through it, an interference that mixes eras, media and aesthetics, producing a hybrid signal, moving and in constant transformation. Finally, as the text progressed, John Cage’s theory about “silence” was mentioned and that absolute silence did not exist. I focus their works on generating sounds not through them, but driven by third parties. Which led me to think about the noise image. I didn’t see real noise as necessary for this image to be heard.
