Museum of Teletext Art (MUTA) presents:

GO TO THE TV SET AND COME OVER TO THIS SIDE! 1979 First Excursions in Teletext in Norway.

27 February to 31 December 2026 (From page 805 -> YLE Teletext)

When teletext tests began at NRK (Norwegian Television) in 1979, teletext was an unknown medium to both researchers and artists.

Arild Boman, who was leading Media Culture university projects at the time, joined the tests together with other artists including Petter Brønn and Morten Juvet to explore the artistic possibilities of this new broadcast technology.

Teletext Figure, Arild Boman, 1979

Thirteen of their works from 1979 have now been reconstructed for this teletext exhibition, offering a rare insight into the early history of teletext art and the first artistic explorations of the medium in Norway.
