Farrow, VanceSmith, Ryan2018-06-052018-06-052017https://hdl.handle.net/1805/16355In my life, television has taken the on varying roles from teacher to entertainer, from salesman to charlatan, and though I have my issues with television, its presence has had such a profound impact on me, I find it difficult to imagine what life might be like or who I might be without it. Although television has been criticized as a problematic device which has a negative impact on society and its peoples, my thesis exhibition, TV Control, attempts to dereify the institution of television by taking over its medium, remodeling it and rethinking it in order to gain more transparency, greater control and a better understanding of television and our contemporary, media immersed world.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United StatesDrawingPaintingAnimationTelevision
