Television

Television can be considered an art that has been around since 1927. Although many inventors contributed to the creation of a television, Philo Farnsworth made the world's first working television system with electronic scanning of both the pickup and display devices. It was first demonstrated to the press on the 1st of September in 1928.





These pictures above demonstrate how televisions have evolved since 1927. They were originally a small little box with a huge back containing hundreds of wires and now we have gone to the thinest HD or 3D televisions. 
Everything that is displayed on television can be considered as an art work. The great part of it is that no matter how big or small, it can be considered art.

Picture 1: displays how the colors sent off of the television create a sense of mood in the room allowing the people in the room to feel a different way.

Pictures 2 and 3: are the same artwork. What they are doing is showing the evolution of artwork and how its come to be in a simple installation. 

Picture 4: is an installation art piece at the Sharjah International Biennial 2005. It shows screen caps from different TV channels from around the world all at once.
