To address this I’ve designed a system to automatically convert a terrestrial digital TV transmission, as captured by a DVB card or PVR, to a sequence of static images annotated with the subtitles from the stream that convey the story as a kind of comic strip format.

"Built by the car for the car, with its groundbreaking suburbs, freeways and shopping centres, it was the embodiment of the American dream.
Now it is truly a dystopic post-industrial city, in which 40 per cent of the land in the centre is returning to prairie. Greenery grows up through abandoned office blocks, houses and collapsing car plants, and swallows up street lights."
