Coiner of the term “electronic superhighway,” Nam June Paik was one of the most influential artists of the 20th century who, after encountering avant-garde composer John Cage, became a member of the influential experimental art movement Fluxus, which created new forms of art and performance. His engagement with television and video art revolutionized how the world thinks of image-making in the electronic age. NAM JUNE PAIK: MOON IS THE OLDEST TV, showcases the artist’s strategic playfulness and immense creativity; a celebration of perhaps the most modern artist of all time.
