Antenna Buddha

Antenna Buddha by Nam June Paik (Seoul, South Korea, 1932) humorously reflects on the impact of television on our lives. A radical innovator and artistic pioneer, Nam June Paik is remembered as the father of video art, a pivotal member of the Fluxus movement, and a visionary who foresaw the rise of the Internet, the importance of mass media, and the impact of new technologies. His collaborative and interdisciplinary practice spanned live performance, manipulated television sets, global television broadcasts, single-channel videos, and video installations.
