Nam June Paik The Electronic Superhighway Rush p.126. I really enjoyed this presentation from class and artistic style of Paik. I feel like it was a groundwork to how the internet was created because now its everyday and day to day lives. This is the "Electric Superhighway" featured in the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I do want to note on this piece has a total of 313 TVs, Alaska has 24 TVs and Hawaii has 1 TV per island. 

Gender and Media Performance "Art historian Moria Roth makes the connection between feminist performance art and so called 'street theater' engaged in by feminist activists, such as the disruption of the 1968 Miss America beauty pageant. Feminist outrage at constricted gender roles was part of a cultural pattern of liberation movements, around the world that included students, people of color, and gays." ~ Rush p. 59. I love the idea of disrupting a beauty pageant because beauty pageants reaffirm the perspective of beauty and not beauty itself. Roth's inclusion of the underclass is revolutionary during her time because of the impending AIDS epidemic and nuclear family mindset.
