You have got to see this!
I think I found something worse then fish tanking...
 (Unless im reading this wrong) The guy that took the photo claims that each set was actually operating! No photoshop! https://www.usefilm.com/image/1425365.html Last edited by 50scraze; 11-21-2009 at 08:11 PM.

Operating with a modern set inside.
Fortunantely I don't see anything super desirable in that pile, except perhaps the Motorola VK-106, the GE 801 and possibly an Andrea?

I agree; modern sets inside. I can see most of the screen edges.
I sure hope that the Westinghouse in the upper center isn't a 22" color set  !!!!!!!!!Charles

I have seen a couple of similar displays. Lucky for us, most people don't seem very interested in a pile of TVs. They stare for about 5 seconds, then move on -- especially if the TVs are playing some pompous rant by the artiste about the meaning of the "installation."

I think this pic is in Milwaukee or Chicago. My cousin took the same picture with her in it and put it on facebook awhile ago. I told her it was disgusting, and copy cat art.

Reminiscent of the work of Nam June Paik. link
('nother link if you're still interested!) I was exposed to Paik years before I started collecting TVs and might have even tried some of that stuff if I had been a little more artistic. I actually think a lot of his stuff is kinda cool, although some of it is a little too weird even for me. And Paik was the original fishtanker, but he did it the right way (the exact reverse of what today's boneheads are doing!):  --Dave Sica

That video was done by a group called The Ant Farm, it was 1971 so those sets were just common old TV's at the time.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ant_Farm_%28group%29 What irritates me about Nam June Paik is his followers still want to copy him. His work also includes some very desirable sets too, several Philco 48-1001's Hallicrafters, several Farnsworth 651P's etc...
