Nam June Paik

Much has been said of video artist Nam June Paik and I'm only beginning to look at his work so I'll spare you my incites till a later date. Paik experimented with found images constantly throughout his career opening up the realm of TV images, static and incidental images for found footage film and video. He died in 2006. Click here for another amazing clip.




Zen for Film was the cinematic equivalent of John Cage's (Paik's mentor) 4"33.
