Art and Television: Who is the Protagonist?

A living room where the screen is demoted. The largest and brightest object on the wall is a painting, with its own dedicated spotlight, located at the visual center; the television is treated as secondary: it is mounted on a side wall, or hidden behind a sliding wooden panel door, or lowered to a lower position and painted with a dark back panel the same color as the wall so that it disappears when turned off. The seating arrangement faces each other and the window, rather than all facing the screen. One corner of the image contrasts with the opposite version: a huge television occupies the center of the main wall, with the painting squeezed to the side as a mere accompaniment. The furniture in both versions is the same. Avoid: making the two versions similar, placing the television in the center of the main wall, having all seating face the screen, completely removing the television in the correct version to make it unrealistic.

一個把螢幕降級的起居室。牆面上最大最亮的東西是一幅畫,有專屬的重點光,位於視覺的中心;電視則被處理成次要:它被裝在側面的牆上、或藏在可推移的木質板門後、或降到較低的位置並漆成與牆同色的深色背板讓它在關閉時消失。座位的配置是面對彼此與面對窗,而不是全部朝向螢幕。畫面一角以相反的版本對照:巨大的電視佔據主牆中央,畫被擠到旁邊變成陪襯。兩者的家具相同。避免:讓兩者相似、把電視放在主牆中央、讓座位全部朝向螢幕、在正確版本把電視完全移除變成不真實。
