pubs.rights-statement	24 Hour Franco is a Two-Channel television sculpture that explores the intersection of celebrity and art based image economies via cultural icon, celebrity and visual artist James Franco. Research background The research is in the field of media arts. Nam June Paik showed that television sets – the apparatus of pop culture – could function as part of a high cultural avant-garde artwork. Dara Birnbaum demonstrated that samples of televisual content, for the apparatus, complicate questions of identity through the lens of pop culture. Douglas Gordon’s 24 Hour Psycho (1993) revealed that the precise act of manipulating the duration of a piece of popular culture can create a new text. This project asks: what happens when the celebrity image system of pop culture collides with the art image ecology? Research Contribution 24 Hour Franco demonstrates that these systems are more intertwined than everyday discourses might suggest. Celebrity is a niche and necessary part of the art ecology. Research Significance 24 Hour Franco was exhibited at the Vancouver Art Gallery for ISEA 2015: the International Symposium on Electronic Arts.	en_US

Abstract:

In 1973 Nam June Paik asked ‘How soon will artists have their own TV channels?’. In 2015 Kubrick or Korine™ respond with a channel conceived for cultural producer, icon and visual artist James Franco. 24 Hour Franco pays homage to the screen visions of Paik and the presence of Franco. It encases Hollywood image-flow within avant-garde form and speaks to the commingling of art and celebrity in the global image economy. Part project and part product: 24 Hour Franco can be retro-fitted to discarded CRT's to deliver a TV sculpture for airports, hotels or shopping malls in the spirit of Paik's 'global groove'.
