"What's TV got to do with it?" Idea blog 9/7

When starting my research, it is hard not to feel overwhelmed by all the information out there. At the same time as there are an underwhelming amount of artists at first glance I feel a particular connection with. So im going to stop, well at least with the internet for awhile. In protest I took a trip to the fourth floor in the library. It is amazing going in with no computer, and just a notepad how much you can accomplish.

That's when I really sat and tried to contemplate what it I am really trying to accomplish with my work. And why it is i choose the subjects i do. When i venture out into making work, usually the first thing I do is photograph a TV. Even if my work does not end up having one in it. But I do think they are all connected.

I've been going things over and over in my head. and i think its time i venture out of my safe zone. I've decided for this next im going to really push the performance side of my work. For all the research I've been doing on video art and artists, I believe the time has come for me to just do it. For my first video im going to be taking apart a TV. The deconstruction in someway of the soul foundation of which my work relies.

Things I'm not sure of.
1. What tools should I use, should there be limitations?
2. There is that very dangerous vacuum inside...how should i deal with that.
3.The background of the piece. Studio, outside, domestic setting?
4. Just one, or many (as many of you know I have quite the collection)

With this work I also want to demonstrate the struggle I have with these objects, as well as getting closer to the core of my work.
