Created for the Olympic Games in Seoul in 1988 this installation consisted of 1003 monitors and was simply known as "the media tower." Here is an example of abstract digital art pushing the envelope not just in size but beauty. In relation to my own work there is no way I could create anything like this, but with looking at Paik’s work it has started me thinking. For example abstractness is a way of making people look at iconic, patriotic images in a different way even if they don't realise it. In some cases it can take a meaning of an image and turn it on its head. It is this I then need to look at and understand how digital abstract art conveys feeling and meanings through still and moving images.
