'Jon Thomson's "TV Archaeology" is an intricate low-tech installation using a slide projector linked by closed circuit to a TV screen. Mounted on the slide carousel is a plastic 'Fisher Price' turntable. A record plays as the carousel turns the disk, a jerky and disrupted tune is played to the rhythmic click of the projector. The fast moving images are of the artist's childhood, they resonate a kind of melancholy and loss of innocence fused with a sense of the ridiculous.'
