The work group WHAT IF THE TELEVISION IS ON shows the results of the scanning of a screen with a mobile hand-held scanner while the television program was on.
For the experiment a performer held a mobile scanner in his hand and scanned the screen of the monitor on witch the current program was running. In addition, he carried a back carry rack on which a printer, a laptop, loudspeakers and a projector were found in three floors. As soon as the actor operated a switch on the mobile scanner the image that was produced during the scanning was projected onto a screen and printed out. The sound of the TV broadcast was transformed with a synthesizer and heard through the speakers.
For the series WHAT IF THE TELEVISION IS ON all TV channels that can be received with a DVBT-receiver have been selected one after the other.

 

 

2013, Multimedia-Performance mit programmierter Schaltung,
digitale C-Prints, Maße variabel

(Fernseher, mobiler Hand-Scanner, Zimmerantenne, DVBT-Receiver, Fernbedienung, Beamer, Drucker, Papier, Computer, Software, Lautsprecher, Synthesizer, Rückentrage, Leinwand)

Die Werkgruppe WHAT IF THE TELEVISION IS ON zeigt Ergebnisse, die beim Einscannen eines Bildschirmes mit einem mobilen Handscanner entstanden sind, während darauf Fernseh-Programm lief.
Für den Versuch hielt ein Performer einen mobilen Scanner in der Hand, womit er die Bildfläche des Monitors abtastete, während dieser das laufende Programm wiedergab. Außerdem trugt er ein Rückentragegestell, auf welchem sich in drei Etagen ein Drucker, ein Laptop, Lautsprecher und ein Projektor befanden. Sobald der Akteur einen Schalter an dem mobilen Scanner betätigte, wurde das beim Scannen entstandene Bild auf eine Leinwand projiziert und ausgedruckt. Der Ton der jeweiligen Fernsehsendung wurde mit einem Synthesizer verfremdet und über die Lautsprecher wiedergegeben.
Für die Serie WHAT IF THE TELEVISION IS ON wurden nacheinander alle Fernsehsender, die mit einem DVBT-Receiver empfangen werden können, ausgewählt.
