 Isidore Isou
«La télévision dechiquetée ou l’anti-crétinisation (Jagged Television or Anti-Cretinization)»

A reconstruction of the television created and exhibited in Paris, in 1962, with a template mounted before the monitor that causes a sign-ridden fragmentation of the running television program. The signs correspond with the «hypergraphics» of a meaningless graphic typeface, the lettering art founded by Isou and also applied in literature and painting.
