The most ironic thing about artist / philosopher Bob Ducate is that although he is a self described hermit, his not-so-easily described video / art concept could bring people together worldwide.
This sky-roving, JVC loving hermit ("I'm with the monks, except they're around other people, and they don't have my toys") has a state of the art satellite dish and receiver system that he hopes to parlay into a global electronic artform.
Ducate's video Music in 12 Parts combines music of the same name by composer Phillip Glass with his slow motion animated paintings, which are comprised of satellite transponder abstractions of uplink transmissions from Broadcast Television. (Independent Spirit, Summer 1993)
