The Cable Project
The Cable Project (2004-2005)
With the Cable Project I gave away cable television subscriptions to eight Toronto area media artists over the winter of 2004-2005. The purpose of this was to enable them access to current televised media, since cable tv is often regarded as an expensive luxury, or is derided as being too common.
The Cable CommitteeI struck a 'cable committee' to help me decide whcih artists should receive cable television. This committee consisted of Cecilia Berkovic, Sarah Hollenberg, Day Milman, Amish Morrell, and Fedora Romita
The following artists were chosen:
Jeremy Bailey, Kotama Bouabane, Keith Cole, Dave Dyment, Heather Keung, Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay, Zoe Stonyk & Lex Vaughn
The Cable Project enabled eight media artists to expose themselves to a variety of televisual material with hope that it will benefit their practice. Timothy Comeau paid their cable bills for Rogers's Ultimate TV Pack for a period of seven months, begining in October 2004.
Interviews
