Antoine Catala

TV

In this series of works, Antoine Catala uses complex technology and simple physical transformation to alter television images in real time. By altering mundane day-to-day television and displaying it in a quasi-cinematic way, Catala instigates a new, near-psychedelic experience of the familiar medium. TV is treated here as a continuous, unfiltered flow, regardless of its content. Catala brings a physical dimension to video, in what he calls “video scuptures,” to develop a new psychological relationship between the viewer and the medium.

Catala's practice, aside from making video, includes performance-based works and curating as a medium. A New York-based French artist, Catala holds a BA in mathematics and was schooled in sonic and fine arts at Middlesex and London Guildhall Universities in London. His work has been exhibited internationally at le Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris; Galerie Christine Mayer (Munich); GAM (Mexico); The Mattress Factory (Pittsburgh); and numerous venues in Bordeaux, Berlin, London, Los Angeles, Mexico, New York, Munich, Paris, Toulouse, and Saint-Etienne.
