Good Morning Mr. Orwell

An edited version of Naim June Paik's first international satellite installation held on New Year's Day, 1984.  Now an artifact and as quaint in retrospect as it is difficult to analyze in context.  Watching so many artists having fun doing their thing is endearing enough to see through the time capsule of Whammy hairstyles and David Byrne suits.  When did you ever get to see Yves Montand doing a song and dance routine and really selling it, to boot?
