About this work

This print shows a man and woman sitting in front of a bulky TV in a living room. Above them is a box with questions like *"How soon will television be in most homes?"* Smaller images at the bottom show TVs built into furniture. The whole thing looks like a mix of a 1940s ad and a futuristic guess about TV. The artist predicted how TV would change life—like chairs made for watching or artists having their own channels. The text even mentions a "great communication-artist Ray Johnson," hinting at connections between art and tech. Look up Nam June Paik next—he was the artist who made this.
