Dimensions / 65.5×83.5cm
Medium / Oil stick, newspaper
Paik created this drawing on the New York Times pages of the TV guide for WNET’s broadcasting of Global Groove and the advertisement of the video art program. He put speech bubbles to his photographs on the pages 70 and 71, respectively showing the advertisement and the TV guide, and wrote “x is y” and “y is x” in them. In the middle of the two pages, he also drew a square reminiscent of TV. The advertisement of Global Groove described video art as something to create a new experience, which is interesting in that video art was regarded as one of TV programs, giving a hint of the atmosphere of the 1970s when the audience of video art and TV programs was not yet divided.
