IN THE SOLEMNITY OF RITUAL AND THE ABANDON OF PLAY TELEVISION SECRETES FRAGMENTS,

SHARDS AND AT TIMES ENTIRE MONUMENTS REVEALED TO THE GAZE AFTER A MILLENNIAL SLUMBER

IN DUST. TV PLAYS ON TEASES AS WELL AS GIVING EVERYTHING ALL AT ONCE,

NOT AS AN ENCYCLOPEDIA BUT MORE IN THE FASHION OF CRAZED UNREGULATED LISTS.

IN THIS WAY EVERYTHING WANTS TO BE EXCHANGED; THE DISCIPLINES OF PAINTING,

THE SCIENCE OF OPTICS, THE MARKET PLACE OF COPYRIGHT DEALINGS, THE

DIVISION OF LIGHT IN THE SIMULATION OF CONTINUOUS SPACE, THE THIEF OF BAGHDAD,

THE RUINS OF HIROSHIMA, BAIRD'S SKETCHES FOR THE TELEVISUAL ALL REVEAL THE PASSION

REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE AND FINDING THE ZONE, THE SHIMMERING COMPLETE

IMAGE FOUNDED ON A CONTINUUM OF DISPASSIONATE DOTS (PIXELS).

INSIDE THE TELEVISION CAMERA AN IMAGE IS FOCUSED ONTO A SMALL SCREEN INSIDE

THE CAMERA TUBE. THE SCREEN HAS A SURFACE OF THOUSANDS OF TINY LIGHT SENSITIVE DOTS.

ACCORDING TO HOW MUCH LIGHT IS FALLING UPON IT FROM ONE PARTICULAR PART

OF THE SCENE, EACH DOT BECOMES ELECTRICALLY CHARGED, OVER THIS SCREEN WE

HAVE A CHARGE  PATTERN BUILT UP PROPORTIONAL TO EACH DOT, TO THE

RESPECTIVE LIGHT SHADE IN EACH SCENE.

BUT THE FORMALISM OF TECHNOLOGY NEED NOT DETERMINE THE POSSIBILITIES OF

CONNECTING WITH THE RUSH FOR CROSS-REFERENCES, BARRIERS SUCH AS TIME,

DISTANCE AND COPYRIGHT LAWS MOMENTARILY DEMATERIALIZE,

WITH PENALISING EFFECTS TO BE EXPERIENCED AT A LATER DATE. ANY RESEMBLANCE

T PERSONS LIVING OR DEAD (UNDEAD) IS ENTIRELY COINCIDENTAL.

MEANWHILE BACK AT CHANNEL 10, BECAUSE OF THE MAMMOTH SIZE OF THEIR ARCHIVAL

VAULT IT IS STILL POSSIBLE FOR BILL COLLINS TO ENJOY EVERYTHING HE PRESENTS.

SO, MAKE YOUR TV WORK, WORK IT DOWN AND SHAKE IT ALL AROUND. TV WILL TAKE YOU

HIGHER, SET YOU ON FIRE.

THEN I JUST LET GO AND SWUNG ONTO THE BACK OF THE GREATEST ROBOT IN THE WORLD.
