Remembering Nam June Paik
Jul 20, 2009    posted by: Jason Wong

Today marks the birth of one of modern performance and video artist's greatest minds Nam Juin Paik.  Paik is regarded as one of the most influential Asian-American artists but that is a title that often misinterprets his true genius in the world of modern art.  He was truly one of the first video artists, at least those in which who regarded themselves as such.  Testing the limitations of the medium, Paik distinguished the variable differences between art video and cinema.  Paik passed away in 2006 but his mark on video will always resonate.
