Sick of TV? We have the solution. Get to the Courtyard, NCAD, 100 Thomas St., Dublin 8 on friday 26th April 6.30pm. Everyone present will have their names go into a hat. If you get picked you will be handed the ceremonial weapon of your choice, don the sacrificial safety garb and then smash a tv. There are a number of televisions available for your smashing pleasure. Weapons available so far are: a brick, a sledgehammer, and an aluminium baseball bat (pictured). Please feel free to bring your own weapon. Anyone with a large double sided axe, a mace or a scythe is welcome. There is one condition: throughout Tv Turnoff week monday 22nd - sunday 28th April you must not watch television. Can you survive one week without it? Will your brain implode? Television Sacrifice will improve your health: - at the point of contact of weapon and television tube, endorphins will be released into the bloodstream, reducing stress and alleviating aggression. - aiming the weapon will improve your hand to eye co-ordination - whereas watching television will increase your levels of zombification, smashing television actually stimulates thinking and interaction with other humans. Items to bring: To find the courtyard in NCAD go under the arch on Thomas St, keep going straight for about 200m and you'll see the courtyard on the right Zen TV experiment: spend 10 mins watching others watching tv Recyclable materials from television carcasses will be recycled quote in picture from The Perfect Machine by Joyce Nelson links: |

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4Yes TV is the slury of every living room in this country of ours. Nothing but packaged news with all the wholemeal goodness stripped out and a doughy, sticky feeling left in your gut.
TV is made to pander to everyone and therefore its as edgy as a beach ball and as flat as a freshly tarmacadamed road.
The ads make us feel bad for driving dirty cars and if I start buying those bloody razors at €10 a pack, I'll not be able to afford me dinner!
I never watch TV as only Radio and online publication allow for feedback in person.

Dont forget,
Turn off your tv
