Nam June Paik


I really enjoyed the diversity of all of this man's work. What I like best about Nam June Paik is how he fiddles with the notion of reality vs. virtual reality with many of his art pieces. It seemed that he made the use of the television to display this notion most of the time. I also really enjoy the "retro" look of many of his pieces, using old pieces of electronic equipment.
The way in which he used many different televisions to create a larger creation through putting them all together, really inspired me when I was thinking of ideas for my performance art piece with the solo cups. It used the same notion of putting a bunch of small objects together to create something with a greater meaning.
