TV Insides [Private View], 2019, Endoscopy trolley, Samsung tablet, Netflix account.
The work consists of your phone, tablet or WIFI enabled device, viewed while sitting on an Olympus WM-DP1 Endoscopy Workstation. When sitting on the Olympus WM-DP1 and watching entertainment or video content on your phone, you can choose instead to view a live stream of images from inside your body. This view could reveal the inner workings of your upper digestive system, oesophagus, stomach or duodenum. You might see images from within your large intestine, colon or rectum. A breakfast panel show could be a passage through hyperplastic polyps. A football game could reveal a grove of your most active gut flora. Online media platforms, video sharing websites and public broadcasters are all viable content providers/enablers. Even partial contact with the Olympus WM-DP1, while simultaneously streaming video content, can result in an endoscopic view.
