The Archetron

Thomas Tadlock

Description

Tadlock combines images from three live television broadcasts to generate fluctuating, kaleidoscopic images. Editing the footage in real time with an electronic console, he reproduces a triangular section of a televised image and replicates it around a symmetrical axis with the use of mirrors and color filters. The following excerpt is from the Howard Wise Gallery Archives, Super 8mm, color, silent.
