on creative block theater
The two essential theoretical foundations which underlie the philosophy of creative block theater are:
1. Creative Block Theater is an attempt on the part of the digital video artist to reconnect with his environment (i.e. people, animals, plants, & inanimate objects) through the medium of television, thereby freeing himself from the "cliché of alienation" in which postmodern society has imprisoned him.
2. Creative Block Theater is an attempt on the part of the digital video artist to bring art (in the fullest sense of the word) to the medium of television. A medium which has been blocked from "serious conceptual study" and as a result now faces "an artistic triviality as profound as its social impact.
