Painted directly onto the screen of a thrown out RCA television, R.I.P. vhf (ex-ray) exists as a pre-monument to the coming (2009) obsolescence of analogue television broadcast signals that have informed and influenced generations since the 1930’s. I find it interesting to enlist technology as a thing which is vulnerable to factors such as evolution and mortality. Especially, given the fact that it is, itself an instrument of distributing the very information that has constructed the architecture toward it’s demise.
