TELE-FURNI-SYSTEM

1997

Celia Imrey for Vito Acconci

TELE-FURNI-SYSTEM is an installation by Acconci Studio for watching video (both Acconci’s and those of other artists). It invites visitors to interact with the environment by choosing his or her own viewing positions from a menu of architectural options. Each monitor serves as a separate video channel and a building block in the network of stairs, benches, and lounges that constitute the piece. It is the viewer who activates the space by physically engaging with it and contemplating the spectacle of moving images on display.
