set by LNK Infotree
[April
23] EUROPOS PARKAS, Lithuania--The sculpture LNK Infotree
created by Lithuanian artist Gintaras Karosas is made of about
3000 TV sets, spans an area of 3,135 square metres and sets
the world record for the largest artwork made of TV sets.
All Lithuania has taken part in the creation
of a labyrinth of television sets, titled LNK Infotree.

People from various Lithuanian towns donated old TV
sets after an appeal from Europos
Parkas was broadcast on LNK television.
The sculpture LNK Infotree is made of about 3000
TV sets and spans an area of 3,135 square metres. It is even
possible to get lost in the 700-metres maze.
It
has the shape of a tree when viewed from above. A statue of
Lenin lies in the middle of the labyrinth. The sculpture symbolizes
the absurdity of Soviet propaganda that for over half a century
had been implanted in people’s minds with the help of senseless
TV.
The narrow paths that dead TV sets form
show its limitation. 6000 square metres of polythene, 700
square metres of bitumen cover and 90 cubic metres of wood
were used to create the composition.
500 litres of highest quality Sadolin Pinotex
paint were used to paint the wooden part of the sculpture.
A support from the LI Sadolin made it possible.
The total weight of the TV sets is about
150 tons.
