Analogue Television
2084 Narrative
In 2084, generative design software eclipses traditional methods, displacing artists who rely on analogue methods. Graphic design group Subvert Studio faces this challenge as AI software plagiarizes their unique visual identity, leading corporations to mass-produce imitations, committing digital art theft. Driven from society, the artists of Subvert Studio seek refuge at Roche Abbey. Here, they discover an ancient CRT TV and realize their analogue techniques can create interactive, colourful visuals on its screen through magnetic manipulation. This transforms into a therapeutic art form. They invite other displaced artists to join them at Channel 22, a haven rejecting AI design for hands-on creativity. Together, they foster a counterculture that champions authenticity and human artistry.
Spatial Concept
Drawing from Channel 22’s newly discovered static manipulation art, CRT static's magnetic manipulations inspire both art and architectural design, bridging technique and expression. The armature, developed for exploring static form extrusion, metaphorically embodies the method and technique behind the art form. This controlled approach informs the creation of dynamic spaces echoing fluidity and dynamism while embodying solidity and control. The resulting architectural landscape serves as a conduit for static art exploration, providing a tangible connection to innovative techniques. This integration of art and space offers users a seamless journey from exploration to immersive spatial experience, fully inspired by the static art form as a core concept.
