So I did some research on Nam June Paik, who is the father of Video Arts. He is an artist who creates so many possibilities at that time period. His work sticks to how art should communicate with life. While other musicians play instrument to entertain a certain amount of audiences, he breaks the instrument, considering that as another kind of music. While filmmakers play movies to the audiences, Nam June Paik plays the video of audiences themselves through closed-circuit camera to engage them and their reactions to the creation of art.
This is a clip from Nam June Paik’s exhibition. He puts TV bras on the model, his living sculpture. We are watching television all the time, but Nam June Paik places the medium in another medium to be a wholeness. He creates a new kind of media.
