Magnet TV, Nam June Paik

A black-and-white television with a horseshoe magnet set on top, bending the broadcast into a drifting blue ribbon. Nam June Paik, Magnet TV, 1965, modified television and magnet, in the Whitney’s collection.

First time really getting his artwork, maybe it’s the more subtler movement than the other artworks that he has.
