Welcome to LOVE TV, I am the goddess Aphrodite and I am exploring the most intimate conversations in the most public spaces. I am travelling the world in my Big Hot Pink TV interviewing people about their love stories, love for a person, a place, an idea or a passion. It's amazing what people will tell me! I broadcast these conversations live, to screens or TVS or projections within the same public space as my installation for viewing. Before the live LOVE TV event lands in a public space, a festival, a street party, a curated art space or a special event I invite the people that are involved in that community to tell me who they would like to see come on the show. This on-line engagement allows the community to become co-collaborators in the creation of their live LOVE TV event. They get to choose their story, co- authoring the live social documentry of their public space told by their selected history makers and shakers in a spontaneous, funny, sexy, poginent celebration. To allow the installation to be as interactive as possible I also invite members of the general public to join me for a conversation, if they have a storey to tell. The interviews are recorded and edited with the best of being available for viewing via the LOVE TV website. For more about me go to: www.rebeccamcintosh.com
