Animal planet
Interest in the development of culture in the direction of new media resulted in the project 'Animal Planet'. The main idea behind this work is how we perceive information nowadays through communicative media. In this case, through television. In this case, through television. A substantial share of the knowledge about our surroundings, nature and our place in it, we receive through TV screens and other media. We accept the image that we see as one which represents reality, often forgetting that this image is just an encoded set of numbers. In this work I explore this subject by questioning the materiality of the information stream, deconstructing the image by influencing the quality of the TV signal. I address several question in this work: materially of an image transmitted through a screen; trust to an image perceived through the media. I choose for theme such as nature to oppose the impossibility of adequate representation of it, because there in no such thing as digital form in nature, but all the knowledge we have about nature is being mediated.
This work consists of a series of photographs and video loop. The video in this work refers to moving images and our perception of television as a representation of reality. I based this work on a documentary about birds where researchers connected cameras directly to the birds. By choosing this film I comment on the possibility of its makers’ interruption in the natural system and my interruption in the data being transferred on TV.
