"Throughout the day and into the night there will be live interviews, performances, cooking shows, painting shows, bands and DJ’s, and screenings of video from artists from around the world" - Streamed live from Merz Akademie in partnership with Acre TV, Chicago.
Sign on / Sign off was television made by artists: a 24 hour live streaming event, that took place at the Merz Akademie in Stuttgart, Germany. Sign On/ Sign Off was presented as a one day “television network” of live and recorded artist produced programming. Artists were invited to propose any combination of pre-recorded material or programming to be performed live before a “studio audience”. The full program used the structure of a full commercial broadcasting day as a platform for creative production, exhibition and exchange that unfolded over a 24 hour period.
All live programs were be open to the public and presented as a live participatory event.
Film/ Video works were also programmed from an open call for experimental moving image in response to the theme of "broadcast".
This work was presented by the Merz Akademie, Acre TV, and with assistance from the DAAD (German Academic American Exchange). It was the collective work of many people and would not have been possible without the support and contributions of the entire Merz Akademie community.
