Sit back, relax and prepare to be generally astounded by an imaginary hour of Virtual TV, a (This Side of The) Channel-hopping, zappers delight. Sixty minutes of the most innovative work to be found on British broadcast television.
Virtual TV showcases a number of stand-out pieces in the art/experimental television area (from series like Ghosts in the Machine, One Minute Television and The Dazzling Image). These short works (along with extracts from longer innovative arts documentaries) are presented alongside some of the most creative ads, titles sequences and station trailers etc made during the last few years, demonstrating the increasing cross-over between the experimental' and the 'commercial' arena and the continuing creative standard of the best British TV-oriented work.
