Media Installation, LIVE TV NEWS
TV news channels, artificial, sensational and seductive, that’s how they appear. With breaking news, they vie for the viewers’ favour. Superficial glamour makes the channels entertaining. Images and sound are reminiscent of music programmes. Infotainment.
On NEWS, I’m lovin’ it, five news channels broadcast their breaking news at the same time. The sound mixes into a mushy background noise.
NEWS, I’m lovin’ it was designed and exhibited for the reception hall of Swiss Television (SRF) in Zurich.
