That's All There is, 2019
Television, remote, chair, pedestal and raspberry pi
That’s all there is a video installation that develops a dialogue between viewer and the work through the remote control interaction. The work is a collection of videos captured by the artist that document clips of things happening. These videos are approx. 10 seconds long and with the content ranging from water on shorelines to highway traffic.
The t.v remote allows the viewer to flip through the channels, identically to how we change the channels on our televisions at home.
The title is a nod to the '60s song, Is that all there is? In the song the singer performs a monologue expressing great disappointment on different milestone events we experience in life, asking no one in particular: is that is all there is?
