Spectacular Optical T-Shirts
Description: Some broadcasts are meant to be watched. Others are meant to watch you back. Signal Calibration Division 83 imagines a forgotten 1983 field-unit graphic from the strange corporate machinery behind the signal: CRT calibration grids, Channel 83 markings, analog waveforms, tracking measurements, inspection stamps, and an eye permanently locked onto the transmission. Designed like obsolete broadcast-engineering equipment rather than conventional movie merchandise, this piece is for viewers who understand that the television is never just a television.
Description: Spectacular Optical is a fake eyeglasses company that acts as a front for a NATO weapons manufacturer featured in the movie Videodrome. The company produced Videodrome, a cable TV show that secretly gives its audience hallucination-inducing brain tumors.
