Op Channel is a tribute to opto-kinetic art, known as Op art, contained within a 1960's vintage TV set. Optical illusions in motion appear through the circular opening in the center of the screen, forming and deforming themselves in an unexpectedly deep space. The decomposition of light into spectra, caused by the front lens, reinforces the illusions. The movement of the observer determines the appreciation of the artwork.
Similarly to Op art, Op Channel investigates the perceptual aspects of art. As such, it requires an active vision, instead of a passive observer.
