The floral forms in layered lines of red, orange, yellow, green and blue look like the blazing sun, with the Chinese character meaning the spring season written three times. This recalls what Paik talked about in terms of video’s capacity to unveil the relationship between color and time. “Before working with video, I had never thought that color varied with time. People believed that in painting we chose colors by direct access (random access). You put a red here or a yellow, or a blue, you chose this or that. But let us observe the nature: each season has its own colors. The spring certainly has colors like light green. It begins with light green then April and May are rich with all colors of flowers and the summer is very blue. The autumn goes from yellow to red. Then comes the grey winter. Colors of video follow the exact same principle.”
