This work confirms the move to classic of two dying technologies - the CRT television and the incandescent light bulb.

A suspended bare light bulb has its form projected onto the wall by a lens. The projection is filmed live and beamed to the sixteen televisions suspended from the ceiling in the form of a chandelier where the picture tubes become the light source.
