PopScience:

When you think of Best Buy, openness to experimental art is not the first quality that comes to mind. But Thomas McDonnel, who produced the show, says that all the branch's manager needed to hear was "foot traffic" (the installation took place during regular store hours). After that, a nod from HQ was acquired with surprising ease--Sammak didn't even have to pre-screen his videos for anyone.

So while it's not quite the guerilla takeover you may have expected, still a nice change of pace from the typical manufacturer show reels on these sets normally. The rapid-fire, saturated colors actually seemed to serve as pretty decent test footage for some direct comparison shopping. You listening Best Buy? Turn all of your stores into galleries.

This is great for the people who want to leave their TV on for background sound but hate getting distracted by it.
(I know, just turn on music instead - Lets see you try telling your wife that! - And good luck!)

And what about the art itself? I overhear "we're doing it dynamically". Sounds cool, how does it work?
