TV Stack and mundane purchasing details

I have started sourcing and purchasing old TV's for the Project, I found two today for $50.00 from a (probably Romanian) guy from TK (Te Karaka), I phoned and he had it in his car. Its a good TV and I will get the other one on Monday when he brings it into town. I have found a way of showing one film across many screens and I am thinking of the block wall in the gallery that is really industrial with a stack of screens showing the film.

I have started the soundtrack which has gone very well so far and is a very haunting piece, I am using a couple of really big speakers that I will put on trolleys for the sound which will run with the film this time.

Project #10 is still Project #10 and I think it will stay that way for the remainder of the program ... as all the work ties in and is continuing to develop. So I have four TV's already and will aim for twelve to tie in with the Deck Stack. Numbers have always been an important factor in this project, I chose twelve decks spontaneously in discussion with Noel in Auckland and it turned out to be so significant with the resulting deck show, so I have maintained the symbolic numerical aspects with all more recent pieces whether it be choosing colour variants or numbers in any way.

I really like the process of sourcing and buying things in this way for the project, interaction with people by phone or mail or text becomes part of the process and the cast off items are cool. When Project #10 started I remeber being interested in the collecting of the decks in the same way. TV's are more local in terms of it not being so practical to ship them around the country but I have found out how much more expensive they are to buy from second hand dealers for obvious reasons.
