Killer TV Strikes Again - As Seen on TV made using Art Alive! 2023

Описание: With a vicious lust for death, the Killer TV stands beside its latest victim as a doorway opens, revealing the carnage that just unfolded. I wanted this piece to tell a story in one image, framed around the boxy killer TV set, with its expressive face and long, probing tongue. The yellow shape is the light pouring in from the open doorway and on the right hand side, a pile of bones.

Televisions feature a lot through my work, especially older CRT (cathode ray tube) sets that could light up a living room with a beautiful glow.

I called this collection of images As Seen on TV because once you turn the console off, the original is lost forever. There’s no way to save the originals of these pieces. There’s no storage on the cartridge and there’s no export options in the software.

By using screencapture software I was able to save copies of the artwork and record how it was created. I also took photos of each piece once they were done to capture how they appeared in their original form on an old CRT television.

Sega's Art Alive! has a lot of limitations. 16 colours, a control pad for input and no way to save your work, but I wanted to create something beautiful. 'As Seen on TV' is a collection of art made using a Sega Mega Drive, a control pad and a copy of Art Alive!. I recorded the screen to capture the process knowing the original drawing would be lost as I turned the system off.
