In the realm of visual discourse, a static camera stands as an unblinking observer, its lens fixed upon the lower segment of a television monitor. Here unfolds a fifteen-minute narrative - a continuous stream of news that flows like a river of information, unceasing and relentless. This act of recording becomes a meditation on the nature of perception and reality, inviting us to ponder the intricate relationship between what is presented and what is perceived.
Above this tableau of flickering images lies an auditory layer, a haunting soundscape composed of encrypted shortwave transmissions from the Cold War era. These cryptic messages resonate with historical weight, echoing the tensions and uncertainties of a bygone time. The juxtaposition of these two elements - the visual and the auditory - creates a philosophical inquiry into the essence of communication itself. What does it mean to receive information? How do we discern truth in a world saturated with noise?
