During the final show, I organized an online artist talk series called The Referee. In this format, the interviewer took on the role of a referee, pretending to decide what was “right” or “wrong.” Participants were not allowed to speak from personal opinion but were challenged to frame their words in general and universal terms, drawn from the dictionary book I provided, titled Ability.
Slegte TV was a collaboration with four other artists. Together and individually, we created work that was presented online. My role within the group was that of coordinator and curator. Together with Maja Bojanic, I developed the concept.
Our starting point was to bring back the tension and curiosity of the early days of television. At a time when screens were already oversaturated, we wanted to revive the joy of watching. For promotion, we chose a teletext-like design, which—just like in the past—revealed only limited information.
We created a fixed program that was neither recorded nor available for later viewing: you had to tune in at the right moment to experience the shows. For three days, we broadcast three programs daily: a series of one-minute videos, a fictional live show, and a film by an artist.
