Today we consume television as a fluid medium. It exists in the air, on the internet and outside of the constraints of a linear traditional time based medium. "Tube" questions what this sort of time space displacement would do to an on screen character. The tiny figure, once living on screen is now presented as a video projection standing on top of the television, removed from the action and residing in the real world. The well-known linear cinematic narrative space has been displaced in this installation and all that's left on screen is the static remnants of the analog age. <img src="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/3005148/IMG_9981.jpg" width="670" height="1196" width_o="1396" height_o="2492" src_o="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/3005148/IMG_9981_o.jpg" data-mid="15316405" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/3005148/IMG_9994.jpg" width="670" height="1005" width_o="1872" height_o="2808" src_o="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/3005148/IMG_9994_o.jpg" data-mid="15316409" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/3005148/IMG_0002.jpg" width="670" height="977" width_o="1872" height_o="2732" src_o="http://payload35.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/3005148/IMG_0002_o.jpg" data-mid="15316580" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.gabebc.com/For-Those-Who-Wait http://www.gabebc.com/following/gabebc.com/For-Those-Who-Wait Mon, 26 Sep 2011 21:40:40 +0000 gabebc.com 2059445 "For Those Who Wait" is an interactive video sculpture about the physicality of time. 10 video projected clocks hang motionless in a room.

As the viewer punches the time cards, the person gets older based on time punch increments. At the last punch the dome goes dark and is not to be reset until the next day. Viewers virtually erase the youth of the person through the passage of time. With each punch the memory of one's childhood is further erased from the dome. It is possible that some viewers may never experience the full length of the piece. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/1982245/expdate.gif" width="467" height="701" width_o="467" height_o="701" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/1982245/expdate_o.gif" data-mid="9840296" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/1982245/IMG_5981.JPG" width="670" height="446" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/1/59213/1982245/IMG_5981_o.JPG" data-mid="9840293" border="0" align="left"/> http://www.gabebc.com/Wall http://www.gabebc.com/following/gabebc.com/Wall Fri, 09 Sep 2011 23:08:53 +0000 gabebc.com 1982010 A video sculpture representation of my Facebook wall.

These tiny human specimens, representing a range of typologies are “trapped” inside glass volumes of varying shapes, much like insects are captured in jars.
