This reading starts off with an analogy relating the television to a fishbowl, pointing out how they are a world within a world. The TV makes faces on screen roughly the same size as the viewer in real life which is contrary to a movie in the theater which is roughly 15 times life-sized. It also connects the entire country by having the same programs broadcasted in one location as another. It relates furniture to sculpture and in turn television to furniture. The television viewers are like producers, deciding what should be on at any given time.
Television is a working sculpture that nearly every household in the country possesses. They are microcosms that exist in our homes that are windows into other worlds and other parts of our world. It connects us as a people and is one of the most high tech devices that is in the home.
Q: How has the field of sculpture advanced since the television has been introduced into it?
