DESCRIPTION
Random TV Network is a website that will show
five different signals (as they were five TV channels) with contents
produced in real time mixing sound, video, and textual material
randomly.
Besides of the ironical view about Television and our behaviors
as consumers, the project will use the new possibilities that have
computers and the Internet for content production (and put in the
place of the artist an old companion of every creator: chance).
Below there is a description of the concept, software and material
used for each channel |
|
 |
RTV.NEWS
Your cyberinformation channel
Images:
A mouth speaking
Images from Google
Sound:
A speaker voice |
This channel will use the software that
I'm developing for another piece ( IP-Poetry , that has won the
Vida 7.0 Incentive for investigation - Fundación Telefónica
de España) It consists in a spider bot that seeks on Internet
selected text strings and then an engine that mix prerecorded sounds
and images of a mouth.
In this case the spider will search phrases that contain the most
used word by some news websites. The mouth will make his speach
and sometimes one still image will be shown (making an image search
in Google)

RTV.SPORTS
The neverending match
Images:
Video fragments of fans, feets runing with the ball. The partial
result of the game
Sounds:
The narration of the match
Fans singing |
| By chance the software will choose a name
of a player, an action (a pass, a kick) and a result of this action
(a completed or incomplete pass, a goal) This will generate a narration
and a partial result that will be recorded in a database. Every time
a user enter the website the match will go ahead. |

RTV.XXX
The adult pleasure that never stops
Images:
Pixelated and zoomed prerecorded videos of porn movies
Sounds:
Prerecorded sounds of people having sex
Background music |
The software will mix the prerecorded video
fragments and will do the same with the sounds.
A random playlist of porn movie music will be the background sound |

RTV.HORROR.CHANNEL
You'll never know who is the murder
Images:
Video fragments of legs walking, a car moving fast, the skyline
of a city, etc
Sounds:
Screams, horror efects, and horror music fragments. |
| The software will mix the videos and sounds
generating an unpredictable narration. |
|
 |
RTV.MUSIC
Nothing is written, nothing recorded; this is really free music
Images:
Random generated figures, wide range of video excerpts.
Sounds:
Random generated music |
This channel will start with four music
programs: Clasic, Dance, Soundscapes and Easy Listening. In each
case the software used will be different but there will be two differents
ways to produce the content. One fully digital generated and another
mixing differents prerecorded samples.
For this channel especialy, there will be an open call for new random
music programs. |

PRODUCTION
The project could be finished on six months.
The budget for the realization is around $6.000. We have already
part of this money because the software that we'll use will be developed
with the money of the Vida 7.0 Prize, (that is 2.000 Euros - USD
2.600) |
