The 819-line television system, an analogue high-definition television system, was used in France following the Second World War. Highly advanced, it arguably placed France well beyond the technological reach of many other European countries at the time. Loupot played on the idea of the line in his design. A series of contrasting two-colour lines make up the work, through which a ballerina can be seen. The poster thus suggests the actual broadcasting process of the system itself.
