Busting the Tube

1. Art by Woody and Steina Vasulka created using the using a Digital Image Processor insprired by the Moog:



2. Nam June Paik's TV Bra for Living Sculpture is an installation included in TV as a Creative Medium in the Howard Wise Gallery in New York. This piece is interesting as the inclusion of television is meant to censor the woman, cutting off her sexuality, and simultaneously, a part of her beauty. The attention is pulled away from the art she creates with the cello, with distracting TV screens.




3. The NYSCA and other non-profit arts centers de-centralized existing communication, as they pulled attention away from the status quo and broadened representation of minority groups, such as Native Americans and youth culture. The stories of people from these groups would expand representation and tell stories from a unique perspective.

4. Deconstruction is important because it allowed video artists to insert their own opinions and perspectives into existing, nonrepresentational media.

5. The 80's was the start of appropriation in video art, and it occurred as a result of a pause in progress in the video equipment.
