Retravision? Yes, we were as surprised as you are. But this year the familiar electrical store is climbing onboard the BF08 cultural bandwagon by surprising shoppers with installations from the Big Square Eye multimedia artwork series. The installation will present the video and moving language work of 15 carefully selected young Queenslanders. It's also supported by the cool kids at QUT, who are hosting the launch.
In the words of program president Gaetano Marzotto: "Teenagers are not satisfied just to live in the world: they constantly transform it through their physical and mental mutations. And that spells trouble! Fascinating stimulating trouble." Fascinating trouble? Let's hope so. Otherwise it will just be a pleasant change to see something other than daytime soapies playing on Retravision TV screens, shocking all 9-5 workers out shopping for TV's on their lunch breaks (?), that yes, nothing has changed on Days of Our Lives in ten years.
