Internet is TV

Internetis.tv Infographic installation

A list of facts are selected to be written on the walls of an empty, darkened room. It is only possible to read the text by lighting the surface with UV light. The visitor has to read and find out the connection of Tuvalu with the place where the installation was mounted.

Four devices with 8 UV LEDs were designed to emulate the magnifying glass cursor. 

The installation has been exhibited in Halle, Germany and in Mexico City, Mexico. Relevant facts related to both countries have been drawn to the walls, for example:

In Germany:

“About 500 Tuvalu men are employed abroad at any given time as sailors, primarily on German-owned ships.”

In Mexico:

“Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim debuted Tuesday as owner and producer of the new online television channel Ora.tv.”
