![]() The thing about Paik’s artworks that stuck out for me was his paradoxical relationship with television media. He advocated for the idea that TV media should become global, as to unite the people of the world. Paik saw technology as a way to connect with others and share art around the world and often brought themes of Eastern philosophy, such as Buddism, into his artworks. He is considered to be the “founder” or “father” of video art, as it is argued that he was the first artist to make art through the use of videos. ![]() His work combined different artistic mediums, and he is known well for his work with video and television. Paik was born in Seoul, Korea yet lived and worked in Japan, The United States, and Germany. One of the artists that I still have not forgotten from my first year at Leiden University is the one and only Nam June Paik (1932 – 2006).
