The article discusses that there is a flourishing branch in the visual arts that consists in the modification of tapes and discs, transduced into images on the television monitor through the mediation of the videocassette recorder. But the sweep of the collector's arm made it clear that she was not bent on acquiring a library of tapes and discs but a collection of objects on the order of sculptures and installations in which video images are focal. It was a work by the avant-gardist Nam June Paik, who has, more than anyone, made an artistic vocabulary of aggregated and modified television sets, often arranged with reference to a kind of sculptural syntax.
