iWant2BeOnTV presents
The Future of Television reimagines what TV can look like in the age of lockdown and internet dominance.
It features the first episode of “The Alex A*******s Show” which is a queer Cancon variety show,
highlighting the experiences and characters of LGBTQ+ youth across Canada through reality TV.
“The Alex A*******s Show”is a big Queer jumble of chaos and joy,
a camp-tech fantasy with public access, digital love, and drag;
a salute to the time where we all sat on our own couches, viewing the same content at the same time,
without control, submitting to the network and to our collective societal desires.
The episode tackles themes of love, addiction, mental health, celebrity culture, production,
community and agency - topics that are centred in conversations in and around my Queer community.
The Future of Television combines the language of classic cable television and Zoom aesthetics-
an eerie and awkward temporal dissonance, common during COVID-19,
while still performing out an era where COVID-19 does not exist
