An exhibition featured Nam June Paik’s "Zen for Film", which is a blank piece of film that plays for several minutes. It projects the dust it has collected over time, so each viewing is unique from those past.

This interactive display was situated nearby the work to show the world of related works and also highlight the major themes: Boredom, Chance, Materiality, Nothingness, Silence, Time, and Trace. A favorite feature is the "dead pixel". When a user taps, a pixel is left in its wake. A dead pixel is either red, green, or blue. The interactive displays an accumulation of dead pixels from the past week.
