hey guys
I've got a question concerning the image i attatched. I am planning an exhibition and i found this.
how did they manage to play a pic from the screen? you think there is kind of a computer attatched at the back?
do you know any possibilitys to make a screen work (maybe even for videos) without a pc?

i think most modern tv's let you read shit from microsd cards and such. they are computers on their own.

Artfag here, been to quite a lot of art exhibitions, even student ones with installations and what not.
There are many ways you can play screen, Anon. Most common I've seen so far is using a projector attached to the ceiling where it projects on an empty, white wall. Most works use PC or a laptop one way or the other, especially when it's an interactive installation, but for static installation, you can use something like VCR player to produce interesting solutions. Most people these days don't see VCR players anymore, so it has a novelty factor to it you don't get from projector image.
Screen like pic related probably needs a PC though, unless it's some fancy "virtual picture frame" thingy that only needs to be connected to electricity source and needs an USB stick only to get the slides/video to display.

Didn't know these things are trending now, thanks for the link.
There's this thing called a "usb memory stick". It plugs into a thing called a "usb port." The TV screen uses some special elf magic to put the magic files on the memory stick to the pretty glass that you look at.

Get a Raspberry Pi and follow the instructions. It will seamlessly loop the videos from a USB stick, something the embedded player on most TVs can't do.
