- 작가 정보: Nam June Paik (b.1932, Seoul) was educated at the University of Tokyo. After moving to Germany, he met the musicians John Cage and Karl Stockhausen as well as the artists George Maciunas and Joseph Beuys, which led to his involvement with the Fluxus group. A pioneer in performance and technology-based art, Paik actively employed television sets and video screens and invented a color video synthesizer that combines and manipulates moving images from different sources. Paik’s works were presented at group exhibitions such as the Venice Biennale and Documenta, and major retrospectives of his work have been held at The Whitney Museum of Art and The Guggenheim Museum, among others. He was the recipient of several awards, including the Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion in 1994 and the Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award in 2001.
