Richard DeDomenici is a British artist whose "playful"[1] work demonstrates a commitment to a stance against standardisation.[2] He gained notoriety in 2012, when he ran alongside the Olympic Torch before having it confiscated,[3] as well as for his many "Redux" projects, which recreate famous films.[4] DeDomenici's performance piece, "Live From Television Centre", broadcast live on BBC4,[5] was the last broadcast made from the BBC Television Centre, London before it was decommissioned in 2013.[6] DeDomenici's performance was "a disruption of television history that takes place in the exact same locations that these iconic moments".[7]
