«Split Reality»
Concept titled 'Demonstration', 1967; video action titled 'Split Reality', 1970; here, video installation titled 'Split Reality', 1973.
'A record is being played in front of the TV set. The sound is turned off. I am listening to the record over headphones inside the TV set, and sing along with the inaudible record.' Valie Export
An early 'interactive' installation that ‘splits’ reality into a sound level and visual level by means of a record player, a video recorder – the open-reel appliance still common at the time – and a TV set on the shelf.
