The OTS is a technical term used in TV-technology. It denotes the camera view which depicts the speaker with a still or moving image over his/her shoulders. As it is a composite image it contains both real (studio stage elements, speaker) and digitally embedded (other spaces, texts) content, in fact is a live montage which displays simultaneously the act of speech and its content.
The sequences used in the installation were shot in the empty news studios of the three most important Hungarian TV-channels (MTV, DUNA TV, TV2)
