			"WIPE CYCLE" a Video Installation by Frank Gilette and Ira Schneider Wipe Cycle transposes present-time demands as a way to disrupt television's one-sided flow of information. In the exhibition TV as a Creative Medium, the installation was constructed before the elevator. So each visitor was immediately confronted with his or her own image. But the monitors also showed two videotapes and a television program. The installation, which made visitors a part of the information, was rigged in a highly complicated fashion: in four cycles, images wandered from one monitor to the other delayed by eight or sixteen seconds, while counter-clockwise a black light impulse wiped out all the images every two seconds from one to the next screen. The ZKM Karlsruhe has purchased the Wipe Cycle installation, one in an edition of three. © Ira Schneider 2019
