Electronic Superhighway.

Electronic Superhighway.

On Monday I went to the Smithsonian American Art Gallery and was blown at away at the exhibit called "Electronic Superhighway" by Korean-born artist Nam June Paik.

From the website:
"To design this monumental map of the United States, the artist Nam June Paik arranged 336 televisions on a scaffold and overlaid it with almost 600 feet of neon. Fifty DVD players send multimedia simultaneously to screens populating each state. Often classic Hollywood films are the source, as clips from the Wizard of Oz, Oklahoma, and Showboat transport viewers to Kansas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana respectively."


To learn more about it check out Exploring the Electronic Superhighway on NPR.
