Visual Language and Interiority 18 November 2014
We looked at the way the house has changed in meaning over the years. It was considered a display of status education and power where people came to be entertained in order to view the accumulated wealth of the owner. It was considered the domain of the male head of the house and reflected his position in society. This changed when the wealthier Victorian middle classes began to speculate in property and build affordable homes for the lower middle class professionals. The space became the domain of the lady of the house and she ran and decorated the home to suit her.
We looked at the collage of Richard Hamilton What is it that makes todays home so appealing.

Our task is to take a piece of art work and see the influences for the past to the present and into the future.
I have taken the television as an item from the Richard Hamilton collage and researched recent work by artists using item. Jordan Bernier has used televisions in an art installation.
23 TV's by Jordan Bernier
The television is a major item in the home and as technology advances so do the improvement in televisions which can now be purchased in giant size screens, hi definition and three dimensional pictures, surround sound, full home cinema packages and the ability to record and watch programmes when convenient. The ability to show television programmes on other technology such as pc's, laptops, tablets and smart phones without having to make another payment for television programmes is changing the way the public think about the way the home television is being used.
