Line interlacing | Zeilensprung

video installation, 1 monitor, 1 player, loop 15 min

The work "Zeilensprung" ( "line interlacing") shows the
design of a media facade for a broadcasting corporation
by the example of the "ARD- Hauptstadtstudio" in Berlin.

Every 48 seconds a TV-still is broadcasted live. A retard
electronic beam simulates the process of line interlacing
(PAL system).

Images, which are generated by the time delay, make past and present visible at the same time.
