A CRT television is filmed 27 times in different positions to create edits not only on each screen’s content but in each space within a room. The stop motion animation shows the single tv traveling, it’s sound panning depending on its position. The recordings become phantoms of deceased surrealist telescreen pioneer Rod Serling as his words are arranged to comment on the finished video we’re watching. All “music” is strictly a result of jawa style video edits
