On June 24, 1977, "Documenta 6" in Kassel opened with the first live international satellite telecast by artists. Nam June Paik, Joseph Beuys, Charlotte Moorman, and Douglas Davis collaborated in the performance that was broadcast live in over twenty-five countries. In the telecast, Russell Connor in New York introduces the performance and cuts back to host Peter Iden, broadcasting live from the studio in Kassel. The camera moves from Iden to show "TV Cello" and Moorman with a classical cello, wearing "TV Bra," while Paik and Beuys wait to start their performances. Paik starts with his key pieces. While Moorman plays Brahms’ "Lullaby," Paik plays the piano, and then stops to put an empty television case, a gas mask, and an empty phonograph case on Moorman’s head. Moorman then attempts to use a bouquet of flowers as a bow before snapping off all the flowers and tossing them away. Paik moves on to his "TV Buddha," installed on stage, and shows how the monitor displays CCTV footage of the Buddha. Moorman is shown playing "Concerto for TV Cello and Videotapes" accompanied by a musician playing classical cello, a nod to the juxtaposition of classical and modern music that is a key motif in "Global Groove" (1973). Paik plays on the piano with a video recorder, using the recorder to bang on the keys. He then crawls inside an empty TV case and bangs on the glass, after which he begins to stack other TV cases on top of it while performing the following actions. He eats an apple, uses a cigarette to burn holes in a piece of paper stretched across a TV screen, lights a candle, and finally knocks over the pile of TV cases. He then helps Moorman onto "TV Bed" where she plays the cello. After this Peter Iden introduces Beuys, who begins his long monologue on Buddhism. The telecast ends with "The Last Nine Minutes," a live satellite performance by Douglas Davis. On screen, Davis intones, "Wherever you are in this room, I will find you in nine minutes. […] I will find you in this room, your room, that is the world.” His performance itself was filmed live in Europe, while the hands on the screen were pre-filmed footage from Caracas, Venezuela. Wearing a stopwatch around his neck, Davis counts down and throws himself at the lens when his nine minutes are up, much as if he were leaping across the distance into the physical space of the viewer. While the telecast’s use of satellite technology was still at the basic level of connecting different locations, it is notable in that it showcases a wide variety of Paik’s key performances, and serves as a precursor of the satellite trilogy Paik would go on to create in the late 1980s, namely "Good Morning Mr. Orwell" (1984), "Bye Bye Kipling" (1986), and "Wrap Around the World" (1988).
