Exhibition

theme The 20th anniversary of his passing

This exhibition revisits Paik from multiple perspectives: as an artist, a man of letters, a philosopher, and a prophet, marking the 20th anniversary of his passing.

Nam June Paik integrates technology and Eastern philosophy, creating artworks where TV and humans, or technology and nature harmonize with each other rather than conflict.

Nam June Paik pioneered media art in 1963, represented the German pavilion at the 45th Venice Biennale in 1993, and won the Golden Lion. He held solo exhibitions at WATARI-UM, including 'A Tribute to John Cage' (1978) and 'Nam June Paik: Recent Works (Paik’s Earth Theory)' (1993).
