Today, the art object must compete with television. The medium of television, a reflection of the film, has elevated dialogue to an art form, much more than a play. The conceptual art object developed in the 1960s, the decade when TV began to come into its own, a decade after the medium became popular and widely available, the conceptual art object which embodies the conversation.

Turning on the television is allowing the conservation into your room, you get to overhear the stream, let the flood in. The audience members become an eavesdropper, an overhearer, an angel. (Television reverses the hierarchy of the divine – the audience become like angles knowing everything. The fan is like God who knows EVERYTHING that has been published and broadcast, but the fan is ignorant of their Being).

The art object must be independent but contain ideas. They are stimulants for conversation and personal growth. The art object embodies this because you will stare for hours at the television set, but not a painting. Paintings will only become part of the décor. People are watching TV, ignoring their art work.
