This is something we've been trying to organise since 1999, we almost nailed it in 2003, but only now are the technology and the ideology in place to actually pull it off . . . previously we were held back by bandwidth, modem speed, feet of clay, etc . . .
Essentially, Culture Crunch Online is a little downloadable virtual television set, which sits on your desktop and plays a random stream of found sound, snippets of video, endlessly evolving, but never repeating . . .we were inspired by the recurring sci-fi motif of alien beings learning about earth by watching our TV broadcasts, usually on many screens at once, or as a cumulative montage (like David Bowie's character in 'The Man Who Fell to Earth', or the aliens in 'Explorers')
so . . . what you are watching is the world's first live generative streaming TV channel . . . whereas our previous attempts at getting this beast online foundered on the rocks of 'not enough money' this time everything is in place . . . the aim is to give you the user the definitive monged-out post-everything tv channel experience . . . broadcasting from a disturbed near-future a mixture of infotainment, blipverts, beauty and bullshit . . . all juxtaposed accidental comedy, pathos and new meaning . . .
