This is a piece from Nam June Paik, who uses televisions in all his artwork. Sometimes he makes an American flag, or throws a bunch of tvs in the middle of a garden. In this case he replaced the majority of what should be a cello with televisions. The only thing thats really left that even resembles an instrument would be the strings and the stick the lady uses to play the piece.
Even the woman, a musician who is playing a very old and ancient instrument (in this case updated), has on glasses that we might be able to assume that are 3 dimensional from the look on her face and from the things that are attached to the glasses. This artist does a good job of revealing the idea that technology is taking over everything, even things that seemed like they could not be updated.
