[ISEA2013] Artist Statement: Scott Morrison – oprahagogo (2005)

Artist Statement

oprahagogo “came about by watching people who were watching people on the TV screen”. The follow-on reactions of people in the real time world was married amazingly with the broadcasted, edited audience reactions of a ‘live’ studio environment; “Scott thought, “let’s party”, so he took them to the Queen, to the bee’s knees. She knows a good party.”
