vue - Slow tv | Thomas Hellum | TEDxArendal
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Is it possible that there is a better recipe for entertainment than fast paced TV, quick editing and reality shows that are filled with staged drama? What if you took it to the other extreme? In this talk Hellum tells the history of slow-TV, from a courageous decision to air a unedited train ride where nothing happens.... to a five and a half day journey with a Coastal ship. And the result? Staggering! Learn more from Thomas in this humorous talk about TV habits Thomas Hellum is a project Manager, photographer and executive producer at NRK (Main Norwegian Broadcasting TV channel) ,where he has worked since 1992. He lives by the motto: “Life is best when it’s a bit strange.” He is a producer of documentaries and various infotainment programs, and one of the people behind a totally opposite direction in TV entertainment: "slow-TV." About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

so basically these scumbags highjacked an entire tv channel and put on something that no one knew about. Great scam, now hold peoples attentions and truly entertain them. Fucking scammers all over the world and thanks to the internet they can collaborate and propagate their scams.

'TV' provides experiences, and thanks to that, we have been inveterate 'armchair travellers'. Although the concept Slow TV might seem a simplistic formula, maybe it's the precursor of the virtual TV concept. It's great 'to brake' some clichés from time to time.

This is wonderful and I can completely understand why people would like it. It's relaxing to look out at nature, especially if it's done from the comfort of your own living room. Also, some people may not be able to afford these trips or journeys and when they get to see it on TV, it is like being there. Great idea. Hope you will continue with it.
