Babylon Blaster

BABYLON BLASDTER is a personal TV-poem, a voyage through the media and their ruins where conflicts between art and message are haunting. Using electronics and a skillful soundtrack, the programme brings up the paradoxal message: the freedom of creation and the manipulation of the medium. In a more-than-ever market-oriented public television, one can ask rightfully: how do we use television? Has the medium freed itself from “cathedrals” or is it creating new ones? To what extent is public television ready to self-criticism and reckoning with its own flaws? The undercurrent of BABYLON BLASTER remains that visual artist crate and expressionistic image to counterbalance the threat of hypocritical information or to pander to resolute art design exclusively in supporting the spoken or written language as basically used in commercial television thus crating new “altars”.
