Pairing the video sculptures, paintings, and drawings produced during the last decade of Nam June Paik’s life with key works from the artist’s oeuvre, this book testifies to Paik’s lifelong exploration of the role of technology in culture. Paik is considered the founder of video art and was one of the first artists to bring television into the realm of art, treating it as a tactile and multisensory medium.
