Description

"Nam June Paik (1932-2006) was a visionary artist who foresaw the importance of mass media and new technology, and its impact on visual culture. His cutting-edge, innovative yet playfully entertaining work continues to be a major influence on art and culture to this day. -- This groundbreaking book focuses on Paik's pioneering role in radical aesthetics and experimental art. Bringing together works that span a five-decade career, and including archival materials and excerpts of Paik's own writings, it offers an in-depth understanding of the artist's trailblazing practice and his vision of a multidisciplinary future. His ideas and profound insight into a global age are analysed in the context of transnationalism for the first time. In addition, texts elaborate upon Paik's collaborations with other artists, musicians and choreographers, such as Charlotte Moorman, John Cage, Merce Cunningham, Joseph Beuys, and Fluxus. Highlighting Paik's global trajectory and considerable impact on digital culture, the book connects Paik's art to a new generation."--Page 4 of cover.
