For immediate release.
Bring Out Your Dead.
On Tuesday, February 17, 2009 the invisible commons of broadcast airwaves will begin their reopening. Liberated by technological obsolescence, these television frequencies are now free for use by the public. To commemorate this event we are inviting the public to come witness the beginning of the Television Drops, a series of public television events as part of the New Stations Network.
Using televisions reclaimed from the street corners where they are left as trash, we will tune them in to our own local broadcast. Powered by the city itself, the TVs will present the first episode of a new public television show, This World.
A single character struggles to build a relationship between himself and those watching. He is simultaneously in command of the program and trapped within it. He is both holding television hostage and himself a prisoner. Forced to be the full cast he builds an anti-narrative with an arsenal of costumes serving as a multiple personality cure to his own loneliness.
