Never in
recent history has their been a channel dedicated exclusively to
art. Showcasing not only visual work but the documentaries and
biographies covering artists as well as the arena of architecture,
graphic design, illustration, experimental theatre, video, dance
and film and profiles of the philosophies and literature which have
served to support these movements .
Six years in the making
The Scatter Channel has searched worldwide databases and found
incredible groundbreaking work from all continents covering the
last 100 years as art has been documented to come up with 24 hour
channel’s timeline which is varied and informative
educational and without bias.
The programming covers the
entire timeline of art from documentaries on lost cities to the
artworks of ancient culture to the present works featured at this
years Whitney Biennial. The narrative to the succession of features
presented on Scatter Arts is one of the most groundbreaking
concepts in programming. The timeline is in essence a seminal
storyboard, which leads its viewer based on related themes while
creating popular recognition and understanding of its history
players and purpose.
It is composed in a timeline of
historical and thematic connections and a related search for
meaning which bequeathing a narrative which in itself purports a
work of art. Challenging the viewer to confront its themes and
broaden the scope of its meaning enriching the pantheon of subject
matter and the greater scope of art. The Scatter Channel will cover
the visual arts in a global format allowing viewers an unbridled
portrait of other cultures through their most intimate means of
expression It will also host an in house show covering the most
groundbreaking shows, movements and events in its related mediums.
On an international scope it will enlighten viewers to the
identity and conflict of their own culture while celebrating what
unites us all . The greater achievement of this endeavor is to
promote religious, racial and cultural tolerance by exposing the
public at large to the higher ideals of our collective journey
Not only will the Scatter Channel cover all movements and
related interests but will showcase groundbreaking works screened
for the first time on a regular basis while it will produce its own
bimonthly telecast coverage of all gallery and museum shows
internationally with supported interviews of new and established
artists and other happenings characters and movements which impact
today’s cultural climate.
Programming will be just as
advantageous for adult education as it will be for children as 3
mornings of the week will feature arts programming for children and
week end mornings will have instructional aired features of craft
and technique in creating one’s own visual art. Painting,
ceramics, graphics drawing etc will made readily available for
those inspired or just willing to have television provide this
educational outlet.
At this moment video in
contemporary art is perhaps the most popular medium artists are
working with today. However these works up until now have been only
been made available to view through the museums and galleries which
are not always accessible to an eager public due to travel and
financial constraints. Showcasing these works to an audience would
insure there is a generation, which will support the arts tomorrow.
As the art world has financially skyrocketed mass culture
has lost the meaning of arts fundamental need for society’s
own self-reflection and understanding. Without having unbiased
media outlets the future of Art threatens to become obsolete. The
Scatter Channel seeks to ensure the safety of arts future by
creating a general consensus of its need and importance in our
culture. More importantly its content seeks to inspire and evolve
the cultural barometer numbed by generations of stifling and
shallow programming. It is only then when the expression of our
humanity can be restores as a necessary ingredient of our culture
can we return to the highest notions of humanity
