NO SIGNAL consists in four video pieces ("counter-commercials") for electronic advertisement billboard, screened in Geneva central station during June-August 2006 (in the frame of the exhibition Photo-Trafic).
The base material of these videos was gathered from the surveillance cameras installed at various locations inside the station. This footage is mixed with short excerpts from hollywood action movies adressing the subject of control and technology. The videos were screened among the usual advertisements for more than a month, in the frame of the exhibition Photo-Trafic.
