TV Buddha
TV Buddha is a contemporary artwork created by artist Nam June Paik in 1974. The piece features a statue of the Buddha, which is connected to a television set that displays a live feed of the statue itself. This creates a loop of reflection, symbolizing the relationship between technology and spirituality.
The installation explores themes of perception and reality, inviting viewers to consider how media influences their understanding of culture and religion. By merging traditional art with modern technology, TV Buddha challenges the boundaries of artistic expression and encourages dialogue about the impact of television on society.
