Becoming Robot. Key works from public and private collections in the United States, Europe, and Asia
Nam June Paik (1932-2006) was a visionary artist, thinker, and innovator. Considered the "father of video art," his groundbreaking use of video technology blurred past distinctions between science, fine art, and popular culture. He created a new visual language using mediums previously associated with mass entertainment and scientific discovery. Nam June Paik: Becoming Robot illustrates modern society's relationship with technology through one artist's perspective, and creates a space for visitors to explore the central role technology will continue to play in art and culture for future generations. The exhibition presents key works from public and private collections in the United States, Europe, and Asia.
