On the Television is presented as an immersive digital video installation that
seeks to draw the viewer into the dreamlike world of the televisual. Images
derived from iterative practice-based works create metaphorical foci for
sociocultural archetypes and a politic of the personal. Drawn from a
biographical context and primarily relying on the visual icon of the balloon,
this work tests the viewer's relation to the realm of the digital screen, and
offers an alternative vision for a mass media of the individual.
