Big Picture TV Talk Show was made to be a portable installation that could be moved to different locations with minimal effort. When I imagined The Big Picture TV back in 1997, I wanted to create something that was not just to look at, but went a step further, and would engage the viewer to interact and become part of the art. I felt that this sculpture could put a viewer in a creative mindset that could blossom in many ways. The goal: to inspire creativity, imagination, communication, and empowerment in both thought and action. I have faith in others who would imagine the infinite possibilities of an interactive sculpture like this. Upon completion in 1999, the Big Picture TV immediately went to a location in the middle of Hollywood, California where it stayed unprotected and publicly accessible 24/7 for seventeen years and became a popular landmark and tourist attraction in the community. During that time over a million people went in for a multitude of creative reasons. From photo-ops to playing music to being used in TV commercials and music videos. Most interestingly there was no graffiti in that entire time! In 2016, after not seeing it myself for twelve years, I brought the sculpture to Santa Fe where it was installed in the Railyard Art District, once again opened to the public 24/7 day or night, rain or shine (with an auto solar LED). Having it here in Santa Fe where I live, I had the ability firsthand to candidly observe the reactions and I mostly noticed the transformative effect it had on people after stepping inside of it. This proved to me when you provide a space for something to happen, something does happen. From people doing talk shows, to bands playing, to performance art, to being featured in a Santa Fe Tourism Promotional commercial. Today you can visit the Big Picture TV at the Santa Fe Community College outdoor amphitheater where it works as a creative classroom space for thousands of students each day.
