Turn your TV into wall art

This is for anyone who thinks that American television is losing its artistic integrity. TV2Art Screens, created by Daniel Goldstein and John Kapellas, are placed over a TV screen, blocking out “most of the content and leav[ing] only abstract areas of moving light and color.” When used in combination with a broadcast, it creates a series of glowing artistic patterns, but the creators claim it still looks pretty cool when the TV is tuned off. It’s meant to be used with flat panel TVs and ships with a DVD sampler.

The TV2Art screen attaches to the TV monitor using micro-suction tape built into the back of the screen. When not in use, the TV2Art screen can be peeled off so you can resume your regular programming. Screens are available in three sizes to fit most screens: small for TVs up to 32 in, medium for up to 42 in. and Large for TVs up to 50 in.  Prices range from $210 (Small “Rollercoaster” design) to $360 (Large “Leonardo’s Flood” or “Rollercoaster” designs) each. A portion of all TV2ART profits will go towards Under One Roof and Visual Thinking Strategies, two non-profit organizations that benefit Aids/HIV service organizations and public school art programs, respectively. See, now even watching infomercials and Dawson’s Creek reruns can have artistic merit and help others… well, sorta.
