Proposal

Topic:
Television Addiction

1.0 Introduction
Addiction is a characteristic of spending large amount of time on a subject and using it more regularly that lead to out of control. It can be know as habit to involve or occupied on subject. Once it stared and can’t stop doing it. Television is a medium for telecommunication on most household, business as well as for education purpose. It is a device shaped like a black box which receives electrical signals of moving images and sound. The word “television” is derived from Greek tele: far and Latin visio; sight. Television addiction is a person who experiences an uncontrollable continues watching for long period of time.

2.0 Background
People spend too much time watching television for some simple reasons, that is either for entertainment or killing free time. It’s relaxing and pleasant distraction from real life and is a great stress reliever or help to forget whatever people face. Watching TV is a difficult habit to break; like a drug. Human brain doesn’t require much thinking or use of imagination on television, if compared to outdoor activities such as football, it require skill and thinking.


3.0 Ideation

What is on my mind is that what kind of things or what kind of installation that can make people realize that they had wasted time in front of television and how to encourage them to do physical activities. Wondering why people should turn to this installation. People do feel lonely at some times, even if they shouldn’t choose television to fill up time. What if, a fast moving digital clock placed beside the black box (TV)? Will people feel time moving faster than they though? What if a digital album placed beside the box (TV), flicking photos, will people feel entertain viewing the photos? Will people be surprise even a broken TV producing beautiful sound of music?


4.0 Aim

The principal aim of this installation is to inform people that there is lots of interesting thing to be explore than wasting time on television.


Objectives

- To experiment the separation of multimedia on television; video, still image, audio, text and animation for preventing the media to focus on one point.

- To investigate which media played the most attraction role in digital world.

- To explore human emotion when come contact with different media.


5.0 Motivation

Curiosity had driven me to explore on this topic. Every little now and then I wonder what make an individual become addictive to something in digital generation. I wonder how much time they had spent and how an individual addicted on something they like. Funny thing is, we know there are a lot of important things waiting for us to be done, yet we wanted to escape by turning to something else.
