15. Cybernated Art, Nam June Paik, 1966

  • Video art has always attempted to be cybernetic, to be interactive and to be part of the new media world
  • Nam June Paik - one of the first video artists
  • He used one of the first Sony portable video cams - recorded Fluxus performances and the Pope's first visit to N.Y.  He combined video and live performance 
  • Coined the term"information superhighway"
  • Created "novel satellite broadcast artworks"
