"City Revue", 5/99 Nam June Paik. Medium Is the Message
Paik is meaningful - as Zen Master, and technological - as synchrophasotron. “Master of video Zen” – this is too modest title. You’d rather call him “the Father of video art”. These high-flown names show, that Paik has already staked a claim of a classic in the history of art.
Nam June Paik has been always in the first ranks to use technology in art. He got the name of the father of video art due to his invention of an electronic synthesizer that gives dazzling visual effects, which revolutionized this field of art. Benamou Gallery, which has got an exclusive right for Paik’s works, will present them to the wide audience at “TV Gallery”.
