Nam June Paik, a Korean artist, is the first person using TV monitor as a sculpture. The art work "TV Buddha" he created in 1974 is one of his representative works. Paik used the closed-circuit camera to directly seeding the buddha, and the buddha gazed permanently the TV monitor which view itself only. The concept of this work are old and now, the past and present, and the real and illusory.
It lets me associated with conservation problem. The invention of new technology usually replaces the old one, however, it actually cannot completely replace the old one since everything has their specificity. It just like the film and digitalize technology.
