Televised egg at the MOMA

This televised egg at the SF Museum of modern art was another exhibit that drew my attention. The artist is Nam June Paik
So whats it all about? well I could make something up.. here goes..for me I found the simple act of capturing this object on the screen conferred importance on the subject and made me consider it as an asthetic object and to study the visual qualities of it more closely. The repetition of its display emphasized this effect even more. It emphasises the importance of Tv in our society and it's importance in contributing to visual art.. Does that sound convincing? Anyway it makes me think why is the medium of TV so powerful, will it be superseded .. Maybe one day we will have brain connections to visual input independently of our eyes?
