Tim Dallett (2014)

Session 4 | Tim Dallett


For the Sessions series, Dazibao invites presenters from a range of disciplines, generations and approaches to present the results of their research and reflections on contemporary image practices. As open-ended events presented on a single evening, the Sessions provide a platform for dialogue and discussion with an audience about artistic works.

SESSION 4 | Wednesday, April 16, 2014 at 7 p.m.

Archeology of the archeology of television

This illustrated presentation by Montreal artist Tim Dallett considers the relationship between artistic intentionality and televisual technology. An audiovisual system connects two distinct sites in real time: Dazibao’s screening room, where the public watches a live transmission, and a second location where the transmission originates. Equal parts research report, live performance, artist’s talk and manifesto, Archeology of the archeology of television offers a series of reflections on roles played by point of view, duration, spatial relations and instrumentality in artistic practice.

Tim Dallett holds a MFA in Fine and Media Arts from Nova Scotia College of Arts and Design. His practice, based in installation and performance, explores real-time, multi-channel video and sound as tools for mediating relationships between himself as a performer, an audience and a physical site. In parallel with his individual practice, he is the co-founder, with Adam Kelly, of the Artifact Institute.
