2004 — Sound Polluter

TV4

During the Mossenmark Festival -96 the Mossenmark Sound Fund was established. The purpose of the fund is to support and stimulate research and artistic work, whose ambition is to reach a grown vigilance around our mutual sound environment. The fund hands out a scholarship every year.


Motivation:
By breaking a screening of a movie with commercials, the artistic work is affected and threatened both visually and vocally.

By breaking in to a sound room and an atmosphere that has been created by composers and sound editors, by sending noisy loud commercials, these sounds trespass on the artistic work and in extension, also on the experience for the television viewers in their private sound room.

Due to the lack of consideration and insight TV4 is provided year 2004s Sound Polluter.
