Under the concept of interactive art television, the electronic gallery was put into operation in 1993. The art television functioned by the transmission of pictures into a FIDO network. Each viewpoint of the network was a FIDO node. There were two types of visibility:



=== The LCD Screen ===

An LCD screen from a notebook was installed in a baroque picture frame. In the picture was also the rest of the notebook. When the image was connected to the power and the wall outlet, the viewpoint was automatically inserted into the network once a day and the new images of the artists were collected




=== Channel 38 ===

The second viewpoint was a monochrome canvas. The entire hardware was installed in the picture frame. In addition, a small transmitter was built, which sent on the television channel 38 a picture from the viewpoint to the television that could be placed near the picture. The "channel 38" nodes functioned just like the LCD screen; once a day, the connection to the network was established via a normal telephone line, and the current program was played in a slideshow.
