Is this TV or is it ART? Has the media of television blurred our understanding of what is art? The television has become a magnet of viewers attention. When it is on it is hard not to watch. It has changed the way we see the world. Up until the early 20th century art told the story of our world and reflected what it was like to be human. But the TV has changed all that. Now the TV has become the reflection of us.
