Part of a larger body of work exploring the relationships between haunted houses, disabled/queer identity, and glitch, /channel/ was filmed and originally exhibited at the Campbell House Museum, one of the oldest surviving buildings in Toronto. Evoking late-night channel surfing and signal interference, /channel/ plays in a space of uncertainty and uncanniness. Technological failure becomes displaced in time; VHS tracking lines exist alongside contemporary artifacting and noisy static. Oscillating through presence and absence, a figure holds the frame, covered face reflecting a misrecognition from the body on the screen to the body in front of it. /channel/ finds eeriness in domesticity, questioning the relationship between the body and the house it inhabits.
