História
Salvador Dalí i Domènech, 1º Marquês de Dalí de Púbol (Figueres, 11 de maio de 1904 — Figueres, 23 de janeiro de 1989) foi um importante pintor espanhol, conhecido pelo seu trabalho surrealista. O trabalho de Dalí chama a atenção pela incrível combinação de imagens bizarras, oníricas, com excelente qualidade plástica. Dalí foi influenciado pelos mestres do classicismo. O seu trabalho mais conhecido, A Persistência da Memória, foi concluído em 1931. Salvador Dalí teve também trabalhos artísticos no cinema, escultura, e fotografia. Colaborou com a Walt Disney no curta de animação Destino, que foi Lançado postumamente em 2003 e, ao lado de Alfred Hitchcock, no filme Spellbound. Também foi autor de poemas dentro da mesma linha surrealista.
Dalí insistiu em sua "linhagem judaica", alegando que os seus antepassados eram descendentes de mouros que ocuparam o sul da Espanha por quase 800 anos (711 a 1492), e atribui a isso o seu amor de tudo o que é excessivo e dourado, sua paixão pelo luxo e seu amor oriental por roupas. Tinha uma reconhecida tendência a atitudes e realizações extravagantes destinadas a chamar a atenção, o que por vezes aborrecia aqueles que apreciavam a sua arte, ao mesmo tempo que incomodava os seus críticos, já que sua forma de estar teatral e excêntrica tendia a eclipsar o seu trabalho artístico.

In his book "1984", George Orwell saw the television of the future as a control instrument in the hands of Big Brother. Right at the start of the much-anticipated Orwellian year, Paik and Co. were keen to demonstrate satellite TV's ability to serve positive ends-- Namely, the intercontinental exchange of culture, combining both highbrow and entertainment elements. A live broadcast shared between WNET TV in New York and the Centre Pompidou in Paris, linked up with broadcasters in Germany and South Korea, reached a worldwide audience of over 10 or even 25 million (including the later repeat transmissions).

The resulting two-and-a-half-minute film reels were then screened in 'slow motion' at 16 frames per second.

Filmmaker Jack Bond and Salvador Dali got together at Christmas 1965 to make Dali in New York, a highly entertaining film. Dali devoted two weeks of his life to creating extraordinary scenes for the film, performing "manifestations" with a plaster cast. A thousand ants and one million dollars in cash. When he confronts the feminist writer, Jane Arden, sparks fly. "You are my Slave! I am not your slave. Everybody is my slave." Dali recalls his meeting with Freud, "The last human relationship ever" About his wife, 'But for Gala I would be lying in a gutter somewhere covered with lice" Jim Desmond's dazzling cinematography captures the great artist painting as Flamenco virtuoso Manitas de Plata performs. Dali in New York is a rare treat for anyone who loves film and the living theatre of Dali's surreal universe.
