Significance of the study

This study has a lot of significance in the sense that technology and art is a broad topic and it has so much to discuss.Nam June Paik, TV Cello Nam June Paik was considered to be the first ever video artist.

This sensory experience was felt through visual and audio as a collage of the artists' imaginations. (Stake 2000 454)

This study is based on the qualitative research methodology.

Primary or secondary / Qualitative or Quantitative

And the principles of scientific methodology, which lend structure to the manner in which such inquiries occur, is what this paper is connected with.
