Buddhism teaches the value of meditating on 'no-thing-ness' as a way of reaching a state of enlightenment. Staring at a flickering candle flame – a light source like the moon and the TV screen – is a traditional meditation technique, and Paik uses a shared cultural trope that speaks to people beyond geographic boundaries.
