A black television anchored by a yellow background. A white line ran through it, drawing its power from the veins of the cable line and, alternately, producing a kaleidoscopic display of images (comprehending both space and time) and obscurities (darkness was supposed to be the limit, the horizon).
As its name suggested, this kaleidoscopic display was intended primarily for children, the adults being drawn toward the television screen to see what they could not replicate. The resulting sensation was one of displacement: everyone went to sleep, except for the child, who woke up from his slumbers almost simultaneously with the news report.
The television lit up the interior of the house and created flickering light in each window, as seen from the outside.
