Installation view: "Glow House #1" off site
project for Plug-In ICA. Winnipeg MB, 2001. Curated by Cliff Eyland
& Les Newman.
House, 35-40 television sets, coaxial cables,
splitters & signal booster
Location: Downtown Winnipeg
One House & 40-50 television sets distributed
throughout and all tuned to the same channel.
The small flicker of light emanating from each TV is then turned into
a ‘pulse’ of light throughout the entire house. As the scenes
change, from whatever television program is airing at the moment, the
house flashes and pulses as all televisions are in sync with one another.
Gives the eerie impressions that the entire house has been gutted to
create one vast illuminated space. During commercials it is as if fireworks
are going off inside…
