In the 1970s, Nam June Paik applied the concept of Zen awakening and the Buddhist principle of causality to Western electronic media to create the installation TV Buddha. In this work, a Buddha statue faces a television displaying its real-time image, forming a feedback loop of gazing that collapses the conventional boundary between observer and observed. This study analyzes the interactions among the Buddha, the audience, and cultural signs within this circular gaze structure, and examines how the work, through technological media, weakens existing power structures and presents subjectivity as fluid, relational, and indeterminate. Drawing on Said (1978)’s theory of Orientalism, as well as Barthes (1972)’s semiotics and Hall (2019)’s encoding– decoding, the analysis focuses on three dimensions: sign production, modes of communication, and the operation of power and marginalization in cultural narratives. The results show that TV Buddha, as a key example of the re-presentation and reinterpretation of Eastern culture in a Western context, weakens the fixed boundaries associated with the Buddha as a sign, the social status of the audience, and broader cultural identities, thereby reconstructing the relationship between those who gaze and those who are gazed at. The work also reveals power asymmetries between Eastern and Western interpretive frameworks and demonstrates the role of technological media in cross-cultural communication and meaning making.
