Silent_tv was a tele-matic and realspace workshop on how to build your own tv.
For many years Tetsuo Kogawa has taught workshops, showing people how to build their own FM transmitters from simple electronic components. These workshops also provoke those involved to consider the technical, political, and social ramifications electromagnetic broadcasts. By building transmitters the workshop participants inevitably deconstruct broadcasting, challenging their own notions of what broadcasting is now and what it could be.
For silent_tv Kogawa took a rare break from his primary love, radio, to lead a "Build your own TV" workshop. Participants built their own television transmitters from basic electronic components and use thed transmitters to broadcast content made at the Satellite of Love open door studios. No experience in electronics was necessary to attend this workshop, and all materials were provided free.
=============== For the International Film Festival Rotterdam program Exploding Television and the exhibition program Satellite of Love, curators Edwin Carels, Adam Hyde, and Stephen Kovats compiled a series of guest interventions, talks, workshops and telepresentations at Witte de With. These TEA TIME TV series focused on artist and activist interventions with television. ===============
