Description: Episode 15: Tired of being mistaken for a terror suspect, Hasan Elahi started wearing an ankle “bracelet” that accurately pinpoints his exact movements and location in real-time. His website also publishes photographs of every activity, ranging from the last meal he ate to the last public urinal he visited.
The project is largely intended to confuse borders between the private and the public, as it concurrently documents the "perfect alibi," made evidently clear with these images, every photograph taken over the last five years.

Movalatex Will Save You! (Carmen Carmona) Re-Broadcast (15:40)
Episode 16: Movalatex Will Save You! is a detournement of an ordinary commercial slogan or jingle. Random participants are urged to partake in the Movalatex enterprise by karaokeing in their native language, as they sing online news and current events from their home countries. In this light, they even refer to the fictitious entity as a superhero.
Born in Sevilla Spain in 1979, Carmen Carmona is a media artist whose trademark "Movalatex" functions as both an artistic identity and legal brand-name registered in 2004 with the Spanish Ministry of Industry and Commerce. In this guise she has developed a line of latex and plastic products that she promotes in street actions such as Movalatex Karaoke. In addition, she has collaborated with Anneke Gräper (Germany), Gabriele Pichler (Austria) and Christiane Spatt (Austria), as a member of the artist collective PASS-PROJECT, to explore the internet as a psychogeographic environment. Their recent videoconference "Instructions to Be Happy in Life" involved a webcast wherein the artists, stationed in different locations, engaged the public to simultaneously perform various collective movements and actions across different spatial, temporal and geographic zones. -

1Episode 12: Kbjkhbbjk is a film without images. Using only simple moving text a narrative is developed that describes a film. The work parodies filmic visual clichés and in some ways undermines the spectacle of cinema by shifting it back to its origin; the script.

1Episode 11: To celebrate the anniversary of the First Situationist International, Shit TV will be discussing the impact of Situationism on culture and art, interviewing members of the public and members of the private to get their points of view, recreating some of the defining moments of the SI and hanging about in toilets. All the regular Shit TV segments will be featured, such as Shitty Things, Hunt the Dump, Charlotte Talks Shit, and And Now for Something Completely Shit, but with a Debordist bent.
November 19th, the day this episode airs, is also World Toilet Day. Charlotte & Fred are very excited about this.
About Shit TV (with Charlotte & Fred):
We are Charlotte and Fred, TV presenters. Broadcast live from the Shit Studios in London, its presenters, embracing their role as the roving cultural diarists of modern society, go out into the world and ask "Is this Shit or Really Shit?." Reporting from art galleries, rescuing dead Christmas trees or simply investigating the contents of nearby W.C., Shit TV strives to give its blunt and biased opinion on these cultural artefacts. -
(Part 2) The Greenpoint Bathing Association: Rock and Roll is Lonely (Everybody Has a Sound to Make) (41:24)
Episode 10: The Greenpoint Bathing Association (Greenpoint's own guerilla aquanautical expedition force) invites all and sundry to join us as we take strategic action against the "contemplated object" in the cultural milieu surrounding contemporary musical production. We propose a united stand against the transformation of music-making into the alienating manufacture of "objects of desire" or "images of need", and propose in its stead a music which encourages free play and self-discovery within community. We are convinced that musical expression is natural and possible for all. The hegemony produced by the usual audience/performer dichotomy will be discarded and new forms of musical experience will be substituted in their place. All participants will be encouraged to act as both audience and performer. Music will begin precisely at 10pm on Nov. 16, 2007. Instruments will be provided but all are encouraged to bring a sound making device of their choosing.
"The Spectator's Alienation from and submission to the contemplated object (which is the outcome of his unthinking activity) works like this: the more he contemplates, the less he lives; the more readily he recognizes his own needs in the images of need proposed by the dominant system, the less he understands his own existance and his own desires".

1Episode 9: A live performance comprised of an orchestration of consecutive events happening in completely disparate locations. These actions are taken by their authors more or less in physical solitude, without cameras, but with the awareness of being connected to the other participants through their scheduled synchronization. The live broadcast itself is the artist announcing each of these events as they unfold, one after the other, beyond the scope of the fixed camera lens. Collaborators have been invited from all over the world to make punctual actions during the scheduled time of broadcast, whether it be putting a loaf of bread in the oven, performing oral sex, practicing Taekwondo, watching the sunrise, or humming a song.

3Episode 7: Inside an upper story apartment, somewhere in Brooklyn, artist Maria Petschnig will go to her window looking out onto the street and perform a series of intimate experiments using her body and an array of found clothes, underwear, handmade and sewn garments and appendages that have been altered in dysfunctional ways.
Petschnig's absurd play on the restrictions of and to the body tests the limitations of the public and private relationship between clothing, exhibitionism and fantasy. -
