I plan on embedding a potentiometer into the antenna of a portable TV. When the antenna is adjusted, the video on the screen, which will be showing one set of eyes at a time, will change accordingly. The eyes will be recorded from a wide variety of people with a wide variety of emotions. My concept is to show the many faces of media and how they are unnavoidable. I've chosen only to show the eyes because in a way, media "watches us". Its contents are always aimed towards a target audience. The appearance is only limited to the eyes because media is over-exaggerated and often lies to us; only showing the eyes doesn't reveal the true identity of the person. When adjusting the antenna for clarity, the screen scrolls through the different "faces" showing that there is no escape from media.

Both the input and the output are going to be embedded on the same device, a portable television. The input, a potentiometer, will be embedded within the joint of the TV's antenna. When adjusted, the video on the screen (output) will change.

My "new" input takes the form of an antenna. Antennas are used for clarity.

I'm assuming the user expectation is to push the buttons on the TV. If the quality of the video is fuzzy, the viewer might be persuaded to adjust the antenna.

The installation will measure the physical adjustments of the antenna. I'm expecting a full range of action. Most antennas are able to be turned 180 degrees.

As previously stated, my output communicates that we are watched being watched by media and there is no escape from it. The relationship is in the components of the TV. The antenna is used to get clarity on the screen. Instead of clarity, more ambiguous "faces" are shown.
