What is the significance, I wonder, of that mockup TV sitting beside the up-escalator in Greenbelt Mall, showing a continuously looping video of a young man walking in the opposite direction of a moving escalator, viewed from above?
My first reaction upon seeing it was to look around for a camera directly over any of the escalators in the mall. Not finding any, I concluded that it was some sort of avant-garde plug for an artsy local movie.
Anyone have clues?

It's actually showing some footage from unTV, the UHF counterpart of the rock radio station NU 101.7. I've seen the escalator thing already; basically unTV shows offbeat experimental films from local people, aside from the usual fare of rock music videos.
Okay! That explains it. I really thought at first that there was a hidden closed-circuit camera above one of the escalators, but I couldn't see anyone on them matching the scene on the display. Cute publicity gimmick, I have to say.
Sorry, I don't have a telly, so I can't watch unTV -- or anything else for that matter. :P
i think it's also part of a bigger exhibit that's part of the digital film fest at Greenbelt. i was just there today (and last sunday). funny to think that we might actually bump into each other there one day. :)
