Acknowledgments
I would like to thank the many people and organizations that have made this journey not
only possible but also worthwhile.
First of all, NSCAD University's MFA program must be acknowledged for-offering, and
delivering, a fertile environment where serious, interdisciplinary aesthetic and conceptual artistic
research is encouraged, demanded and expected. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I
am indebted to the financial support of The Harrison McCain Scholarship in memory of Marion
McCain from the Harrison McCain Foundation and the Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada
Graduate Scholarship - Master's, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council.
I am grateful to my MFA Committee for their expertise, guidance, dialogue, honesty and
support: Mark Bovey, Bob Bean, David Clark, Wilma Needham and Bruce Barber. Also to Jan
Peacock, Wendy Landry, Adam Kelly, Joe Landry, Solomon Nagler and other faculty under
whom I've studied. To the pedagogues with whom I had the great fortune of acting as Teaching
Assistant for: Alexandra Emberley, Mark Bovey and Sandra Alfoldy; your professionalism and
passion is inspiring. And a cheers to all other faculty and staff for making this institution a
vibrant playground of ideas.
To the technicians in all areas: you are the pillars of this institution. I would like to single
out those who have assisted me during my stay here: "Murf" Lively, Michelle Alarie, Ken Lamb
and Donald Thompson. Also to the staff of the Anna Leonowens Gallery, director Tonia Di
Risio, exhibitions coordinator Eleanor King and the team of helpful interns who run the welloiled machine that brings us new exhibitions weekly.
To MFAs past: thank you for setting up expectations and precedents that both provoke
and motivate. To my MFAs peers: I cannot speak more glowingly about your dedication,
professional excellence, insightfulness, hospitality, generosity and many other qualities that I
could gush endlessly about like a sentimental wreck; it has been a wonderfully rewarding two
years. Many hugs . To the first-year MFAs: although we just got acquainted, the relatively short
time we've spent together has been invigorating. Best of luck! To those "undergrads" (a most
affectionate designation) with whom I've had the pleasure of meeting or even working with:
interacting with you has kept me grounded and perhaps even planted in me a desire to pursue
teaching in the future. Many of you will be amounting to great things and I'm certain we will
meet again in the tiny pond that is the Canadian art world. See you soon.
And lastly to my family, especially Ma and Ba: thank you for your unquestioning support
over the years. I guess Canada was indeed the correct immigration destination.

Introduction

Offered in this text is a limited introduction to some areas of thought that triangulate the
works included in Constant ... Intervals. This is by no means a comprehensive survey nor an indepth investigation of all relevant and possible ideas prompted by this exhibition; as art has the
capacity to travel across disciplines, it would be impossible to address each related field on their
own terms. Presented in this text are some modular points of departure that connect outward,
nesting this cultural production within a "broader conceptual context" (NSCAD 10). The direct
invocation of NSCAD University's MFA requirements as a fundamental rationale implies that
this exercise is more than just a complacent act of meeting institutional demands; it is a
demonstration of an awareness of this field's structures of validation. 1 Howard Singerman, in
proposing a theory of the MFA, suggests that the professional certification of the artist "assumes
a responsibility, an obligation to that name's past as well as its future" (213).
In existence since 1973, NSCAD University's MFA program rose out of the
academicisation of higher art education in North America. While not explicitly cited, NSCAD
University's MFA certification is based on the MFA Standards as outlined by the College Art
Association:
To earn an MFA, a practicing artist must exhibit the highest level of
accomplishment through the generation of a body of work. The work needs to
demonstrate the ability to conceptualize and communicate effectively by
employing visual language to interpret ideas. ("MFA Standards")
In this context, the evaluation of the thesis exhibition's effectiveness at communicating its
intentions becomes the primary preoccupation of its viewers. I cannot accurately project how
"successful" this exhibition is in these terms because this appraisal involves more than a
straightforward comparison of intentions and reception; reception is inter-subjective, affected by
peer-based consensus and other discursive assessments, processes that occur outside and around
the works,. I can only take full responsibility for presenting one side of this equation by
submitting this exhibition,· coupled with this explanatory text, for an audience to experience.
This text is an offering of possible gateways through which this work could be accessed,
appreciated and understood. It provides the tools for making an evaluation of efficiency. An
effort has been made to embed all the ideas presented here within the artworks themselves using

 Tong 6

a chain of conventional semantic associations and I surmise that my intentions could be reached
through the visual, temporal, conceptual, unconscious or mnemonic experience of this work. 2
While the pieces in the exhibition remain the most immediate sites of encounter and the main
entryways into the ideas they relay, this text serves as a register for concepts that may have failed
to, or simply could not, be communicated visually. This is a supplementary portion of the
overall thesis exhibition during its run but invariably shifts to become the primary site of
encounter after the installation has been disassembled.
In this spirit of supplementing, and later simulating the experience of the exhibition
retroactively, another focus of this text is the thorough description of works plus a full exposition
of its visual and conceptual logic. While this resolve for a comprehensive articulation of motives
and descriptions may seem like a rigidly rational approach and appears to deny these works a
sense of affect and ineffability with which art has traditionally been imbued, this severe
delineation seeks to do quite the opposite. By stripping these works down to their artistic
intentions and openly laying out the ways by which they operate, they're distilled down to their
essential characteristics to allow them to resonate more clearly. It is a method that seeks to
fracture the usual hierarchal structure of meaning by flattening it into individual nodes that open
up dialogues to other ideas. This horizontal web of meaning extends from the core of this work
as transferable observations that initiate loops of guided, inexhaustible signification.

Short exhibition statement3

Constant ... Intervals presents three instances of journalistic rhythm. These works distill
and re-visualize real-time news data, foregrounding the ebb and flow of events that enter the
roaming journalistic lens. Composed of newsprint, digital projection and reflected screens, this
exhibition uses a counter-aesthetic of muted visuals and decelerated movements as a reply to the
shimmering techno-graphics of 24-hour news channels and the urgent streams of seemingly
constant reportage.

 Tong7

Expanded exhibition statement

The three examples of journalistic rhythm are explicitly denoted by the titles of works in
the exhibition: Daily is an accumulating paper sculpture, Editorial is a digital projection of a
spinning frontpage news photograph and Chronological scrolls the latest headline on a pair of
conference teleprompters. "Journalistic rhythm" connotes the frequency with which news items
are brought to us in a media-saturated society. This rhythm is affected by the speed of
information exchange within the journalistic system (editors, reporters, contributors, technicians
and a multitude of technological tools that take up a certain amount of processual time), the
methods with which these stories are delivered to us (newspapers, television, radio, the Internet),
and the rate at which "actual" events occur. An "actual" event is defined here as a change of the
constant; regardless of whether it is causal, this shift is made perceptible by comparing before
and after states, usually marked by a pause and eventual transformation into the new baseline.
News arises at the temporal convergence of actual events and the current vantage point of the
journalistic scope. The roaming journalistic lens is governed by factors such as editorial
selection, ethical filtering, fulfilling idealistic leanings and accommodating reader expectations.
This watcher must select a thread from an infinite number of events and non-events. Similar to
how some of the visuals, subjects and outcomes of this exhibition are undetermined prior to the
system's enactment in real time, news is a phenomenon of framed serendipity.
The assertion of providing a "counter-aesthetic" implies a reaction to "the shimmering
techno-graphics of 24-hour news channels and the urgent streams of seemingly constant
reportage." While offering the experience of watching news unfold within the alternative
configuration of this exhibition is the primary focus, the critical rhetoric suggested by this work
is undeniable. This criticism launched against those glossy graphics comes largely out of a
concern for their impression of crispness that in turn implies a sense of certainty and
unassailability. Coupled with high-speed animations and constant movements, it guarantees a
persistent state of transformation that one may feel powerless to affect or resist. The result of
this visual connotation is also the feeling of being set adrift, a feeling that runs counter to news'
function "to orient man and society in an actual world" (Park 669).
These gleaming visuals exist on display screens where they are immune to the forces that
anchor material existence: they have no visual indicators of weathering through use or

 Tong 8

stagnation. The fundamental features of digitally generated images, specifically those of pixels,
perfect gradients, smooth surfaces and gleaming highlights all project an impression of
disconnected simulation. Because they appear to be conjured from the ether of inaccessible
electronics, they function in an insular space that has appears to have no traceable ~rigins. 4 This
cosmetic wrapping of digital information, especially that of news information, presents a false
sense of detachment, reinforcing the common, oversimplified conclusion that news is created by
a veiled, immoral authorative power for economic gain or for advancing other dishonourable
agendas. These graphics also overlap with the aesthetic semantics of entertainment that rely
heavily on fast cuts and constant shifts of vantage points that, in combination, belie a sense of
omni-presence. A more realistic model is grounded in the acknowledgement of a certain level of
uncertainty, of limited view and undeniable bias; "pragmatic objectivity" can redeem some of the
unrealistic expectations one may have of the press as perpetuated by its "techno-graphics." 5
The impression of incessant reportage is promoted in part by the tone of conclusive
inconclusiveness that news presents. The isolation of an event from a continuous line of
subsequent actions and reactions originates from a desire for narration, an act that brings some
kind of order to what is essentially a homogeneous horizon of the perpetual present. While a
particular news story could be concluded and could function as a sovereign unit within itself, it is
converted into a mere component when placed within a larger, less knowable temporal narrative.
In this way, news is written in a mode of implied non-closure as the emergence of further
developments is a prevailing and expected possibility. Walter Benjamin observes the correlation
between continuity, speed and rhythm: "the tempo of news transmission, through which the
individual newspaper editions replace the previous ones, work toward the eventual elimination of
all discontinuation, of any sudden end" (qtd. Bolz 110).
The sheer volume of news information also promotes this perception of constant urgency.
The even larger number of Internet portals to this pool of information exemplifies one of the
central characteristics of the database paradigm. Media theorist Lev Manovich suggests that the
number of databases referencing data today has surpassed the number of data elements
themselves. Manovich elaborates on a story by Jorge Luis Borges that tells of a map that is
equal in size to the territory it represents by saying that the map (database) has expanded beyond
the territory (data) ("Database" 413). This over-stretched map is of "non-human" (Manovich,
Interview) size and scale; it disorients and overwhelms. The effects of accessing news in the

 Tong 9

framework of the database run counter to the traditional conception of news as a first draft of
rationalized history that serves to orient the individual in the present.
This large expanse of the digital database also carries with it a staggering sense of
acceleration as one could travel instantaneously from one location of this database to another.
The perception of speed could be imagined as the erasure of geographical distance. Historically,
the invention of the telegraph changed the practice of news gathering by making distant news
easier to obtain. This formative information network conquered geographical space and
consequently decreased temporal distance, expanding the journalistic scope to encompass the
globe. Stories from afar that previously took weeks to arrive now appear beside the local news
that happened yesterday. The manner with which news came to be written also contributes to a
sense of acceleration; historian Douglas Fetherling writes: "With the telegraph, facts
overshadowed reactions, news overwhelmed thought. And in time [ ... ]newspaper prose lost its
originality and began to emulate the terse telegraphic style" (36).
In the end, this sense of acceleration evokes a kind of sublime anxiety caused by temporal
disorientation . Marshall McLuhan suggests that "speed, and huge speed-up means there's no
more past. Now, there is no more history" (Ideas). This exhibition proposes that re-instilling the
realism of "actual" pace could be a therapeutic approach for adapting to the non-humanly fast
digital milieu. The goal of presenting a counterpoint of deceleration is not to repeal or overthrow
this irreversible acceleration, but to bring some understanding to or raise an awareness of how
our experience of the news is affected by its technological structures, to how the medium affects
our reception of the message.
This exhibition shares an optimistic view of the press and its ideals. This faith runs
against popular culture's depictions of the press. 6 On one hand, journalism is vilified as a selfserving industry of corrupted ethics where selling a story is paramount, and on the other hand, it
is presented as a noble profession that sacrifices itself in the service of a public good. Additional
dichotomies in our common conception about journalism include the tensions between attitudes
of cynicism and idealism, between motivations of public and private interest and between
approaches of objectivity and subjectivity (Ehrlich 8-11). While these contradictions exist, their
simplification into polarized concepts fosters a tendency for individuals to retreat to either/or
positions of a naive trust of the spectacle versus the more commonly adopted, extreme position
of an all-encompassing skepticism that refuses to find value in, or even be connected to, the

 Tong 10

current journalistic apparatus. By inserting the element of time as a third factor into these
familiar dichotomies, I would like to negotiate a more nuanced and considered position.
Despite its shortfalls on various fronts, the news as cultural product carries a
philosophical dimension as a continuum of life; the encounter with it is an ethical responsibility
to locate oneself among other human beings; the experience of journalistic rhythm is the measure
of lived duration.

On lntermediality

The guiding principle for creating these works and a pivotal approach in my general
artistic practice is what I would call a "hyper-conscious intermediality ." It is a derivative of
"hyper-conscious intertextuality ," Jim Collins' central contribution to postmodern discourse. 7 In
his discussion of the intermingling of genres in Hollywood films of the 90's, Collins suggests a
new kind of entertainment is emerging where audiences revel in the interplay of narrative
elements within the movie as well as the film's dialogue with other films before it. The result is
a cultural milieu where both producers and viewers approach films with a high awareness of all
other films a niche audience would likely be familiar with. In this way, the film functions upon
its contrast with other films inside, or outside, its genre (248-9). I am quite wary of the
connotative baggage of "intertextuality" as it stipulates a high level of awareness on the part of
both the author and the reader; mere quotation rarely constitutes an "intertextual" gesture. In
addition, "intertextuality" generally privileges content over form.
The "intermedial ," on the other hand, is more appropriate because popular encounters
with journalism are based on the medium and methods through which news is accessed while the
texts, individual stories and events, do not form the overall impression of news reading.8 While
journalistic texts could become easily recognizable types or genres after inevitable remanifestations eg.) politician disgraced, disaster strikes/adverted, animal rescues owner etc., they
rarely alter the expectation of certain aesthetic cues that identify these texts as news; it is less
about the stories themselves but through what kind of visual or material framework these stories
are viewed. The identification of information as news could be done by isolating some
recognizable physical and textual features: the bundle of newsprint of specific dimension and

 Tong 11

detail; the frontpage photograph with its distinct compositional logic; the headline with its very
particular verb tense, diction, voice and length.
The effective communication of this body of work hinges on the audience's knowledge
of the current practices of news delivery by such media as newspapers, news magazines, 24-hour
news channels, nightly television newscasts, morning news shows, aggregated news headlines on
webpages and RSS feeds. 9 An ability to identify relevant paratextual references such as the
scrolling marquee text of news channels and the usual locations of headlines upon a page grants
the viewer better access to the ideas contained in these works. 10 Furthermore, the awareness of
the cinematic metaphor of the spinning newspaper is required for perceiving the irony in

Editorial. In this manner, this exhibition assumes and targets an audience that has experienced
popular news media in some way.
While it would be imprudent to suggest that this exhibition is for the mass public, the
natural argument being that public galleries hold only a modest position in the cultural lives of
the "general public," I think the audience would be able to enter the work on his/her own formal,
conceptual or emotional level. It is likely that every viewer would have the means to relate to
this exhibition in some way because news is a shared cultural practice. This space for
intersubjective interpretation is exciting, however difficult to predict, access or gauge. For the
viewers who may lack some of the specific requisite access points discussed above, there is
sufficient interest or unfamiliarity provided by the pieces for eliciting some sort of response,
understanding or affect prompted by the formal elements alone. This exhibition offers a wide
range of aesthetic experiences.

Art Historical Coordinates

As this exhibition is made up of an assortment of specific objects and was conceived
using a variety of sensibilities inherited from many forms of artistic practice, an extensive
contextualization of the show within an art historical context is not feasible. For the sake of
manageability, I will concentrate on relating the general artistic approach of these works to
various art historical coordinates, focusing on elucidating the thinking behind the pieces that
draw on live RSS news feeds as subject. Constant ... Intervals could be understood as a gesture
similar to detournement, one that functions with a "systems esthetic" to act as an active observer.

 Tong 12

Detournement

The general approach to these works included in the exhibition bears some resemblance
to the idea of detournement as outlined by Guy Debord & Gil Wolman in the context of
Situationist art practice of the SO's and 60's. With an acute awareness of the effectiveness of
building on the connotations of existing media to deflect and subvert dominant messages
(Anderson), detournement falls into the larger design of Situationist operations aimed at
intervening in the conventional relationship between individuals and the society of the
spectacle. 11 The four "laws" of detournement are:
1) It is the most distant detourned element which contributes most sharply to the

overall impression, and not the elements that directly determine the nature of this
.
.
1mpress1on.
2) The distortions introduced in the detourned elements must be as simplified as
possible, since the main impact of a detournement is directly related to the
conscious or semiconscious recollection of the original contexts of the elements.
3) Detournement is less effective the more it approaches a rational reply.
4) Detournement by simple reversal is always the most direct and the least
effective.
(Debord)
Although all the works of this exhibition demonstrate exemplary correlations with these laws and
could be classified as detourned pieces, the artistic intentions that govern them do not entirely
align with detournement's ideological drive of class struggle and cultural revolution on Marxist
terms. These pieces differ mainly in their placement within the enshrined context of an art
gallery rather than directly on the battlefields of mass media, positions taken up by the likes of
Adbusters, the Yes Men and direct interventions of so-called "hacktivism." This exhibition is a
subtler gesture that searches for potential sites of empowerment at places previously overlooked.
There is no goal to overturn and no subversion in any true sense of the word; this is merely an
expository gesture that provides a framework for the related mechanisms to manifest themselves.
My choice of this approach comes from a measured pessimism about the effectiveness or even
possibility of a revolution staged on the grounds of representation or counter-propaganda. The

 Tong 13

art gallery context, however flawed with its self-assurance of influence and however bound up
with economic allegiances, could act as a prism for refracting an alternative image of this large
journalistic machine.

Jack Burnham's "System's Esthestics"

Often referenced by those creating systems-based media work, Jack Burnham's "Systems
Esthetics" stands as a pivotal text in the discussion of a genre of art that focuses more on
behaviours and interactions within networks rather than the intrinsic properties of an art object.
Written in the context of late 1960s American Art, it was prompted by the innovations in
computing technologies as well as the rising resistance against the supremacy of Abstract
Expressionism's formalist dogma. Repealing Michael Fried's division of theatricality and
literalist art that describes the movement towards a post-formalist aesthetic, Burnham proposes
the term "systems esthetic" as a more fitting adjective for this shift. Examining process-based
works such as Moholy-Nagy's telephone paintings, Robert Morris's instructional constructions,
tangentially Allan Kaprow' s later Happenings that were staged using a refined procedural logic
and Hans Haackes responsive environments, Burnham observed that "[w ]e are now in transition
from an object-oriented to a systems-oriented culture. Here change emanates, not from things
but from the way things are done" (Burnham's emphasis). Burnham concludes his article in the
following manner:
But for our time the emerging major paradigm in art is neither an ism nor a
collection of styles. Rather than a novel way of rearranging surfaces and spaces, it
is fundamentally concerned with the implementation of the art impulse in an
advanced technological society.
Burnham is quick to abandon the practice of "rearranging surfaces and spaces" associated with
formalist practice to suggest a shift from artist as maker of things to the maker of aesthetic
decisions, but he does so at the expense of neglecting further questioning how the rearrangement
of more abstract conceptions of "surfaces" and "spaces" could assist in implementing the "art
impulse." Distracted by the promise of immateriality implied by the concepts of behaviour and
process as well as the blinding fervor of paradigmatic change, Burnham fell into the trap of
discarding existing approaches in hopes of entirely new ways of doing things. A careful

 Tong 14

examination of network structures would eventually reach a reconciliatory conclusion that things
and objects are the surfaces through which one enters the space of systems to view and affect
their inner workings. For this exhibition, the immediate site of material encounter was given
much consideration when deciding how to present the data visualizations in a galle~y setting. 12
In another article entitled "Real Time Systems," Burnham elaborates on the notion that
the world was becoming a "total organism with its own metabolism" through its growing
integration with real-time systems and the challenges this transformation poses to art:
Emotionally most humanists share an instinctive antipathy for these immensely
complex computer systems. Their Orwellian overtones far overshadow their
conceivable use as artists' tools. But practically it is imperative that artists do
understand them -- both technically and philosophically. These computer systems
deal with real time events, events which are uncontrived and happen under
normal circumstances. All of the data processing systems I have referred to are
built into and become part of the events they monitor. (qtd. Gere 128)
I am skeptical about the gestures in this exhibition becoming "part of' the events they monitor;
even though the sense of control by the reader is deceptively amplified by the interactivity of
news websites that encourage feedback through posting comments or directly e-mailing the
reporters, technologies that allow for personalized filtering of content, and Application
Programming Interfaces (APis) provided by some publishers for the public to create programs to
interpret their news data, the actual modification of the broadcast system or how this data is
gathered lies out of reach. 13 The existing journalistic model, though handicapped by recent
economic troubles, remains the central source of information and acts as the frontline of the news
gathering infrastructure with its contingent of professional journalists, editors and producers.
Confident in the effectiveness of existing critical interactions with mass media such as active
consumption, bricolage, or the recent buzzword of the "remix," this exhibition casts its gaze not
to the rising peripheral alternatives to the mainstream press but remains realistic about the
mainstream press' s dominance and is optimistic about its capacity to carry out its role in a
responsible manner.
While integration into the real-time circulation of news information is barred, this
exhibition still has some ability to submit an indirect reply to the journalistic apparatus.
Assuming the transferability and trans-disciplinary character of what is categorized as
contemporary art, this exhibition provides indirect feedback to other disciplines. The

 Tong 15

juxtapositions, counterpoints or new observations offered here has the potential to permeate
through to or get picked up by associated fields, generating a new perspective that may inspire
change, however subtle, from within the fields themselves. 14

Wolfgang Staehle's To the People of New York, later renamed Untitled

On September 6, 2001, technology artist Wolfgang Staehle installed a series of live video
projections on the walls of Postmasters Gallery in New York. The video feeds were streamed
from cameras filming a castle in Bavaria, the TV Tower in Berlin and the skyline of Lower
Manhattan. Running at the altered pace of one frame every four seconds, these still images are
described as "lyrical [and] idyllic ... constituting an ongoing pictorial meditation on media
voyeurism" (Greene 173). On September 11, 2001, when the passenger planes crashed into the
Twin Towers, Staehle's piece suddenly acquired the extra dimension of being a journalistic, and
subsequently historical, document. As Staehle told Art Forum, his "landscape painting became a
history painting" (qtd. Greene 173).
Staehle was somewhat disheartened by the fact that his project had recorded the events of
9/11. Its witnessing of such a massive cataclysmic media event shifted the meaning of the work
away from its initial statement against the spectacle. Rather than taking a position on whether
the work was "cursed" or "blessed" by the events it witnessed, Staehle distanced himself and
expressed an attitude of indifference, stating that "I just set up a camera, and of course things can
happen" (qtd. Rosenberg).
While Staehle saw his approach as being "inspired by European Continental philosophy,
to perceive things in their authenticity," and to see "what happens when nothing happens" (qtd.
Rosenberg), the nature of this exhibition is fundamentally different because it is one step
removed from actual events; this monitoring of mediated reality cannot claim access to any kind
of authenticity nor can it presume a baseline where "nothing happens" because the journalistic
apparatus naturally generates and maintains an expected level of newness. However, this project
relates to Staehle's overall approach of simply setting up a structure and waiting for things to
happen. Assuming a seemingly detached position, this way of working allows for a certain
amount of indeterminacy and a potential for surprise that makes its execution and experience
within a gallery setting absolutely necessary. This laissez-faire kind of approach is by no means

 Tong 16

uninvolved nor neutral because the outcomes are pre-filtered by the structures of the inquiry ,
which, in this case, is to observe news data along a temporal axis.
Another difference between Staehle's project and this exhibition is the prominence of
photographic imagery in the former. The visuals in Staehle's project are direct references to the
locations that are shown . Viewers suspend their disbelief in the face of the photographic image;
they project themselves easily inside the frame to connect with the geographical place, its
histories, its people and its significance. This exhibition relies on more synecdochical elements:
the newsprint models, the limited moment as captured by the news image and the latest headline
text all use different semiotic pathways to convey their referent and meaning. I believe there is a
critical power in challenging viewers by obstructing the usual chain of signification as the means
to examine how reality is mediated by social, cultural, political and technological structures.

Automated active observation - between system integration and passive witness

The overarching approach to these three works is one of active observation. It is this
active approach that prevents the computer programs designed for this exhibition (used in

Editorial and Chronological) from becoming unblinking witnesses. While observation through
reception can be perfectly synchronized between the broadcaster and the audience, eg.) news
alerts that get sent to one's e-mail the exact moment stories are published, active observation is
temporally less precise. On the technical front, the frequency of checking for new source
material is limited by the hardware's processing power and the call and response time between
program and data. This project navigates a forced route to retrieve news data so even a refresh
rate of once per second is too frequent and would result in unreliable data replete with errors. 15
This automated constant eye on the news must still blink regularly; just as this action would exert
much strain on one's physical body, the computer software delegated this function of being a
constant witness retains a human dimension of limitedness, an inability to monitor every
infinitesimal increment of time.

Editorial accesses the frontpage every minute in anticipation for a new cover story. This
length of time between each probe adheres to the common expectation of "up to the minute"
coverage. Chronological checks its RSS feed every 5 seconds for any changes, a number chosen
out of a compromise between smooth software performance and the conceptual intention for

 Tong 17

imparting a sense of attentive compulsion. Daily renews everyday as the paper models are
assembled and added to the piece everyday before the gallery opens. As the publication schedule
of the Globe and Mail corresponds with the gallery's days of operation, Daily upholds its artistic
integrity of uninterrupted observation and reply.

Descriptions of works

Daily

Daily is an accumulating paper sculpture. Scale models of newspapers made of empty

newsprint are spiked daily upon a receipt spindle over the two week duration of the exhibition.
These miniatures are one-fourth the size of the Halifax edition of The Globe and Mail
newspaper; their thicknesses are in direct proportion to the publication of that day. The paper
models are skewered through the centre and stacked vertically at haphazard rotations . A
monument-like pillar of folded newsprint will be the result of this process.
This routine of spiking these miniaturized newspapers harkens to the action of discard
that regulates our consumption of information . The material-based circulation of time-sensitive
information such as the news produces a certain surplus (or waste) whose accumulation could be
interpreted as a collection of history or a loose analogy to the passage of time. These pages are
left blank to emphasize their material potential as ready-to-use materials that we repurpose; old
newspapers are used for packaging, cleaning, paper-mache, to name a few of their innovative
applications. The information inscribed onto them merely represents a temporary present. Just
as the material of newsprint yellows quickly with age, the ideas these papers carry lose stability
the moment they're printed. These empty pages provide a space where the monumental
headlines could be reviewed, revisited and even rewritten. This urge to provide a platform for
the physical action of re-writing led to the decision to scale these pieces to specifically onefourth their normal size; the ratio between the size of hand-written text and the page dimensions
of the models is similar to the relationship between the common size of headline text to the page
measurements of the actual broadsheet.
The observations that resulted from the artistic inquiry which led to the creation of Daily
echoes and elaborates upon some existing bodies of thought in journalism studies. 16 Bernard

 Tong 18

Roshco writes in Newsmaking that "news, is a consequence of the human desire - and need - to
know the state of the surrounding social and political environment" (qtd. Rutherford 133). 17
This desire is best satisfied by stories that are "timely"; the timeliness of an event is a
combination of recency (recent disclosure), immediacy (publication with minimal delay) and
currency (relevance to present concerns). The sense of timeliness could only be communicated
given an existing relationship between a news source, news medium and a news audience
(Rutherford 134). Sociologist Robert E. Park suggests that the function of news is "to orient man
and society in an actual world" (669). News is above all, a perishable commodity that is
transient, ephemeral and exists within the psychological space of "the specious present." Park
posits that news is an unstable or transitionary state of knowledge as it passes readily into history
once it has been contextualized by other fields or recedes as mere fact once the public attention
has waned. Once readers insert news into their conversations, the focus shifts from the news
stories themselves to the issues they raise; it is the interpretation of news and the subjective
sentiments they arouse that make up public opinion (Park 676-7). Daily's stacks of empty
newsprint are the discarded containers of this transitory piece of cultural production, the material
remains of when the timeliness of news has expired.

Editorial

Editorial is a live projection of a spinning frontpage news image. It is a decelerated

version of the cinematic trope of the spinning newspaper. Also incorporated into this projection
is the time-related data of this image. If one imagines the spinning photograph as the face of a
clock. the month, day and year of the image are displayed as the coordinates of the minute and
hour hands, locations that in turn indicate the hour at which the corresponding story was
published.
The rate at which this image spins is calculated by averaging the time between updates of
the top story at www .theglobeandmail.com. For example, if the average time is six hours, the
image would rotate a full 360 degrees over the course of six hours. This rotating image leaves a
disjointed trail and has shaded, paper-like edges that give a sense of objecthood to this otherwise
very flat screen image. Each time a new headline gets uploaded to the news website, the
continuous trail gets interrupted and broken; in other words, the visual breaks are indicators of

 Tong 19

how many stories have been published but failed, for whatever reason, to displace the frontpage
story .18
Under these conditions for determining the spinning speed, if a story is deemed important
enough to warrant raising to the forefront of social consciousness and this story changes so
quickly that it receives periodic updates on the frontpage, the image would spin faster, creating a
sense of urgency and uncertainty that corresponds with these influential events. Conversely, if
the updates are less frequent, the image would spin slower, creating a more contemplative, but
consequently less captivating animation; this image, and the reverberations the event it
references, would linger, perhaps giving it the presence it deserves. By decelerating this
cinematic metaphor that is conventionally fast, this comical cliche gets recoded with new
conceptual emphasis and meaning.
There is very little documentation about the origins of this visual of the spinning
newspaper. 19 The lack of information seems to suggest that it has somehow integrated itself
deftly into popular culture's repertoire of signs; its continuous overuse especially in the postmodern practice of eclectic citation has shrouded it in some kind of hyper-surface that doesn't
compelled the viewer to seek out its origins. Because this kind of citation creates meaning only
when they've been inserted into new (con)texts, they usually act as nothing more than humorous
cliches, an empty acknowledgement of shared experience of the target audience .20 There's a
speculative assumption that Citizen Kane, a film so elevated in its canonical status and
embalmed in so much critical judgment, provided one of the first instances of this visual
metaphor. Although the exact example of this trope was not found in this film, its use of similar
animations involving the frontpages of newspapers provides some supporting evidence for my
proposal that the spinning newspaper represents an ellipsis in the language of narrative time.
Near the beginning of Citizen Kane, the audience is presented with a newsreel that tells
of Charles Foster Kane's death. The sequence showing newspaper headlines is lodged between a
shot of Kane's coffin leaving a church and an inter-title describing Kane as the "greatest
newspaper tycoon of this or any other generation". While the bundles of newspapers do not spin
towards the camera, they do lift up towards the camera one by one then quickly flutter out of
frame. About halfway into this sequence, the camera progressively zooms further into the pages
in anticipation for the next frontpage to be revealed. The wide coverage of this news story,
including headlines on papers from around the America in addition to ones from Spain, Russia

 Tong 20

and Japan communicated Kane's larger-than-life status. His death was the final punctuating
moment of his life, a period or perhaps an exclamation point. But in the context of viewing this
film, this event could not be associated with anything as definitive because the audience was just
introduced to this character. There's a sense of narrative non-closure21 as more questions are
raised than answered by these declarative headlines. 22 This cinematic transition represents a gap
that the film then proceeds to fill in. This peculiar kind of omission is used to impart a sense of
narrative rhythm and temporal scale.
Describing the various types of narrative rhythm, Mieke Bal distinguishes the time of the

fabula and the time of the story. Taking a structural approach, Bal separates narrative into
various describable aspects and elements to suggest that a narrative text has three distinct layers:
the text (written words), the story (the sequence in which the fabula is told) and the fabula (the
series of events as experienced by actors) (9). One could illustrate the various types of narrative
rhythm by examining the relative temporal ratios between the time of the fabula(TF) and time of
the story(TS):
ellipsis -- if TF runs at normal tempo, and TS not proceeding thus -- TF > infinite TS
summary --TF > TS
scene -- TF <= TS
slow-down -- TF < TS
pause -- if TF not proceeding, and TS runs at normal tempo -- TF < infinite TS

Compared to the narrative ellipsis in film or novels where it is bracketed between other kinds of
narrative tempo, the journalistic ellipsis is sustained for an indeterminate amount of time. One
must wait for that decisive moment when a new frontpage image arrives to interrupt this
potentially infinite TS, a disruption that is both welcomed and dreaded. The perception of an
interval that breaks the perpetual ellipsis restores the sense that time exists, reorienting the
individual in history .23 In this way, Editorial recasts the metaphor of the spinning newspaper to
suggest a more philosophical interpretation of this cinematic trope. The inertia of such a
prolonged omission denies so much narrative content that it draws focus on the temporal
structure of this piece, and by proximity, the dimension of time in the exhibition overall.

Chronological

Chronological is composed of two conference teleprompters displaying the latest
headline supplied by The Globe and Mail's website. The upward scrolling text is rendered as
engraved letters, mobile manifestations of something one would assume to be static and
permanent. This scrolling movement leaves behind simulated visuals of smear marks across the
glass, suggesting time's passage. These visuals relate to the stains found on outdoor
commemorative plaques left by the natural elements and resemble the patterns of oxidization,
erosion or moss; this real-time rendering of material weathering presents a situation where new
information is immediately aged. This text scrolls at a slow reading pace, stopping near the top
as to not roll off-screen. Prevented from scrolling further, the text jitters, waiting impatiently for
new information to be received. The visualization idles in a space that's semi-disfunctional. It
readies itself to display what is beyond its temporal horizons while previous headlines attempt to
resurface as short-term memory.
These conference teleprompters each consists of a telescoping stand holding an angled
piece of semi-transparent glass that reflects the image off a computer monitor lying face-up on
the floor. They are the latest versions of their older counterparts that are used largely for
television news. Whereas teleprompters conventionally involve projecting a scrolling script onto
a two-way mirror mounted over the lens of the camera thus allowing the reader to look directly
into the camera while reading out loud, the ones used in this exhibition are employed in public
forums, televised or otherwise. Typically, two of them would be aimed towards an orator at a
podium. Positioned to the speaker's left and right, it allows him or her a range of head
movement that facilitates eye contact with the audience and disguises the act of reading. A
skilled speaker and practiced user of the teleprompter could deliver the scripted material as if it
were natural speech. The reliable supply of scripted content frees up the presenter's attention for
subtler acts of persuasion such as body language, verbal dynamics and pronunciation. The
position of the teleprompters leaves an unobstructed sight path in front of the speaker, giving the
audience and cameras a clear view.
In the gallery setting, these objects triangulate a privileged viewer, giving him or her a
rare access to these optical devices. They grant the experience of temporarily standing in the
position of those larger-than-life figures. From this vantage point of being able to read text that

 Tong 22

is usually denied, one gets a hint of the collaborative effort that was put into constructing these
speakers, with many individuals creating and maintaining a fa~ade or image of whatever kind.
The foregrounding of this speech-assisting technology serves to disrupt the directness that is
mutually assumed in such mediatic address. By giving access to these aids that are~deliberately
left outside the frame of representation, a kind of demystification occurs which has the potential
to empower.
These objects are introduced into this exhibition as existing cultural objects,
recontextualized to reveal their functions within a larger realm of journalistic and political
theatre; they could be imagined as broken tools, a concept inherited from the philosophy of
Martin Heidegger and has trickled into art discourse:
It's not only that the artist represents [ ... ] the taken-for-granted everyday objects
that underlie our "personal values," and by representing them invites us to see
them otherwise. Sometimes it is enough for the artist to appropriate an actual tool
with no further modification than a change of name and the application of the
institutional frame that declares the object to be art. This is enough to fulfill the
"look-again" function of art, which invites us to see beyond the mode of blind
pragmatism. (Schwenger 53)
The point at which these teleprompters become misaligned with this formulation of the broken
tool as art object is their esoteric nature. While some viewers may have encountered these tilted
panes of glass in media representations of public speakers, these objects could hardly be called
"taken-for-granted everyday" objects. 24 Their use and circulation are restricted within a closed
circuit that runs behind the scenes of media and public relations . .The teleprompters as presented
in this exhibition offer an opportunity for viewers to literally "look-again." By showing these
devices as sculptural objects, the illusion of text magically floating on glass is broken. It is
revealed that these ethereal images are produced using easily understood optics; the monitor on
the ground must display the text backwards in order for the words to read correctly on the
reflection. The actions of looking up and looking down to explore this peculiar phenomenon is
rewarding for the viewer. Past headlines submerged over time are displayed legibly on the
monitor while the latest headline appears backwards on the monitor so they must be read on the
glass. Metaphorically, the tombstone-like monitor suggests an inscription of something from the
past, calling for commemoration with bowed head from the visitor while the eerie deep space of
the reflected text on the glass hints at a mirage of the future which conversely demands a

 Tong 23

forward-looking gaze to try and see beyond the immediate present. This dynamic also
exemplifies the ideas about the brief timeliness of news as discussed earlier.
Using teleprompters to display RSS newsfeeds in Chronological grew out of a personal
dissatisfaction with the conventional and often un-critical manner with which computergenerated visualizations are exhibited, display strategies that usually turn with blind faith to the
data projector, to the LCD monitor hung as a picture frame or to the installation of a common
computer workstation . Not only do these habitual approaches fail to address the specific context
of the gallery, it often ropes viewers into comfortable positions of spectatorship as defined by
previously sanctioned habits of interacting with the mediums these artworks most resemble
(cinema, painting/photography, web surfing etc.) It is an especially important consideration
when presenting so-called "new media" work that deal with digital interfaces; a space must be
created where the encounter with immateriality is made more meaningful. The finding of
specific objects to display the visualizations was of the utmost importance when creating this
work. Teleprompters became the ideal vehicles for this purpose as their form provokes an
uncertain recognition while their existing meaning resonates strongly with the subject matter
they display. Editorial was also conceived with this central consideration; it is displayed using a
data projector because of its oblique reference to cinema .

Interpretations of the Exhibition as a Whole

The three pieces included in Constant ... Intervals constitute three different tempos of
journalistic time. Each of these rhythms is denoted by its title. Daily flows with the familiar
cadence of the daily press, anchoring the more abstract temporal explorations of Editorial and

Chronological. The centre puncture of the newsprint refers to the pivot point upon which the
image of Editorial spins. The vertical scrolling movement of the teleprompter text refers back to
the action of reading the columns of text in newspapers. The bench in the middle of the gallery
space suggests Editorial is of long duration and also hints at a cinematic relationship between the
viewer and the projection. This seat is placed at the intersecting sightlines of the two
teleprompters; "x" marks of the spot of the collections apparatus inside, a "blackbox" that denies
full comprehension. In conjunction with the barebones techno-visuals of the teleprompters and
projection, there's an impression that a process of distillation or simplification beyond our

 Tong 24

perception is taking place. When the viewer slips into the shoes of the presenter for whom the
teleprompters are originally intended to assist, he/she stands in front of the data projector of
Editorial, a kind of reverse camera pointed at this oratory position.

On The Globe and Mail as Source

A national, English-language business newspaper, The Globe and Mail is a Canadian
brand. With reasonable claims of being "Canada's leading National Newspaper," it is an entity
that enjoys a "special relationship" with the nation's "most affluent, educated and influential
consumers and business decision makers" ("Advertising"). Its editorial motto was selected by
George Brown, the founder of the Globe, in 1844 and is still in use today. Citing Junius, the
pseudonym of an 18th century English writer, it reads: "The subject who is truly loyal to the
Chief Magistrate will neither advise nor submit to arbitrary measures." This ideal for keeping
the public informed in order to defend against "power seekers who threaten its freedoms" is
maintained through reliable and professional reportage, analysis, insight and perspective ("The
Globe"). The result is journalistic product of a high quality . The Globe and Mail's headlines,
editorial stance and journalistic scope combine to form a source of reference that carries a kind
of respectability and clout, making it a premium material for art making. Its self-sufficiency and
already validated status make it a pre-fabricated element that does not distract from the structural
investigation being conducted with this exhibition . Its insusceptibility to critiques of
sensationalism focuses interpretation away from the narrative subject matter that invariably
captures audiences' attention to the temporal qualities of journalism that is being observed.

There are of course material failings of the apparatus that translate the data into visuals such as

but in terms of the idealized "master-copy," it exists in a space of perfect preservation.

Journ~lism ethicist Stephen Ward traces the invention of journalism ethics and proposes a more
realistic definition of objectivity: "Pragmatic objectivity starts from the premise that journalism
is an active empiricism, full of judgments, selections, values and decisions under conditions of
uncertainty . It does not begin with the inaccurate view of traditional objectivity that journalism
is a passive recording of events and objectivity a matter of expressing the recorded fact" (314).

While these observations were made specifically about depictions of journalism in film, they
could be surmised to be transferable to other popular culture media if one assumes that movies
"can be read as a culture thinking out loud about itself' (Mukerji and Schudson, qtd. Ehrlich 2)

Stephen David Ross, in developing a theory of art based on the inexhaustibility by contrast,

intersubjective.

This exhibition attracted meagre press coverage. (see:
http://www.thecoast.ca/ ArtAttack/archives/2010/03/ 17/pudy--tong-is--newsworthy) While
newspaper reviews of art exhibitions are common, the subject matter tackled by this exhibition
has a unique resonance with its journalistic re-presentation. I suspect the journalistic lens was
drawn to this story less out of a reflexive duty of reportage, but through discovery during its
active search for ideas that aide in journalism's self-examination. Not only does the inclusion of
this exhibition into news circulation (granted that The Coast occupies a specific niche as an arts
and entertainment weekly) reveals something about journalism's horizon of relevance, the
review of this show acts as an explicit example of one interpretation of the exhibition that in tern
aides us to potentially evaluate the effectiveness of these works.
15

While Chronological references a file that uses the standardized format of RSS, the retrieval of
the necessary data for Editorial is done using an improvised program that strips down the HTML
code of the website to isolate the image link and other information (see Appendix I and II).
Editorial has the highest risk of malfunctioning during the course of the exhibition because any
major changes in the design scheme of The Globe and Mail website would render the
visualization program obsolete and would require adapting the software to these alterations.

Much like art discourse,journalism studies appears to be a hybrid and permeable academic
field made both of practitioners and theorists from across the humanities.

Film theorist Noel Carroll speaks about narrative non-closure as a situation where the
"presiding macro-questions" of a story remain unanswered. He places these assertions within a
framework of narrative that is erotetic, structured around the relationship between
questions/answers rather than problem/solution.
