In Bohdi Obfuscatus (Space Baby) American-born Korean artist Michael Joo borrowed a Korean Buddha from a local shrine and encased it in a halo of video cameras. Paying homage to Nam June Paik, Joo created a kind of televisual feedback loop, with the Buddha's image being transferred to video monitors all over the room (via.)
