Television as an artistic medium
• Television and Video appears in 1960`s, processed through the same system: audio-visual information is teleported as “the music of electrons”
• In 1969`s first experiments on TV and Video: Allan Kaprow, Nam June Paik, Otto Piene, Terry Riley i Phil Makana (electromagnetic distorsions)
• Video statics: Zero degree of medium expression (simultanity)
• Video dynamics: in-processness and montage

seeing”• Video has specific graffic potential and creative synthesis of thinking ( cybernetic art)
