First Day at the ICA

Today we took a mini tour of the SUPER VISION exhibits, and one of things we checked out was this piece by Yoko Ono. At first glance, it just looks like a plain ol' blue screen on a pretty plasma television, but WAIT! First impressions are often wrong. It's actually showing the sky outside in real time, with a camera located on the side of the building actually pointing at the real sky.

I felt like I'd fallen for a trick.

So Yoko Ono came up with this piece, called Sky TV, in the 1960s and I just thought it was super nifty.
