Workshop Sessions Day One

Today and tomorrow we are in the workshop developing our artefact. Our artefact must be a second hand, old, or broken piece of furniture that we will be taking apart and repurposing with relation to Wymering Manor. 

I have chosen a broken TV that I had in my possession. I chose the TV as it obviously relates to film, as well as it's a interesting comparison to 'traditional' furniture that one may think of when they hear the word 'furniture', as some wouldn't consider a TV as furniture. Also, I believe that it would be a lot of fun to take apart and repurpose it as it is made from lots of different materials.  

As I wasn't able to attend Thursdays workshop session, I took apart the TV at home and documented it in the form of a time lapse video; 

I really enjoyed taking the TV apart as I have never done it before and I have always enjoyed seeing what makes things work. I found myself being very gentle with the TV and its parts, even though it's broken. I spent time after the time lapse looking and holding each part of the TV and started to think about what I could repurpose it into. 

Below are photos of the parts of the TV:
