WAVES 2020
“This is a glimpse of the video landscape of tomorrow when you will be able to switch to any TV station on the earth, and TV Guide will be as fat as the Manhattan telephone book.” Nam June Paik
In 1968, the godfather of video art, Nam June Paik, began a synthesized scream from the broken bits of dismantled television sets in an attempt to reach upstream of authoritarian broadcasts. As the new cathode rays blasted mono-culture traction beams into eyeholes around the globe, he scratched, soldered, mixed, and mashed wires, and light from a little studio in Boston, to dance noise back into the tv signal and try make the world groove. He pioneered the first video mixer and his lifelong work was to disrupt the isolating force of broadcasts, by feeding the signal back into itself with help from his artist friends along the way. His art culminated into a global groove that is as relevant now as it has ever been.
Amid social isolation, his vision of crossing media streams and connecting artists around the world is in fact more important than ever. WAVES is an effort to draw from that spirit of disruption to insert a bit of danceable noise into the signals bombarding us today. Sunday, May 17th, artists from Singapore, the UK and around the world will be broadcasting art from their homes and then mixed and mashed live for your digital pleasure. You are invited to join the global stream and help us disrupt our isolation by connecting to our YouTube channel and live chat. Audiences are encouraged to rebroadcast the live stream with your own inserted danceable noise to your favourite streaming platforms.
History
The WAVES event was originally a live video art event that took place at Nanyang Technical University in Singapore and the University of Kent in Canterbury, U.K. The event collected student video artworks designed for architectural projection experiences and invited the public to gather and engage with live art. With the social isolation mandates brought on by the pandemic, the organizers of the event sought to re-imagine the experience for streaming audiences. A new format of exhibition focused on connecting isolating artists emerged after discussing the recent exhibit of Nam Junes Paik’s work at the Tate Modern.
