"Halász created the work Modulated television I (Byzantium) in the early 1970s, as part of the series Modulated Television. It is one of the first pieces of Hungarian conceptual or video art. Its point of departure is an art history documentary aired on Magyar Televízió (Hungarian Television) entitled Byzantium on the one hand, and a geometric figure comprised of the possible positions two rectangles can meet, on the other. Halász drew the figure on sheets of cellophane, which he glued on the TV screen and took a picture of the random composition every three minutes. Thus, he opposed the still, geometric figure with time, chance, and the figurative and narrative aspect of the film; also, the axonometric drawing expanded the images running on the screen with a spatial dimension. This process may be considered as a photo action with the exhibited work as its result. Halász applied the 36 prints to a canvas with glue, creating one—vulnerable—piece of artwork. M.ZS."
