Nam June Paik
Paik was a video artist and I believe he was on during the video day. He used video art to perplex his audience. He first started in Neo-Dada art which was inspired by John Cage. He then worked with a woman to combine his video and music with hers. They placed the images and sounds on top of each other and there was his first success at getting his name out.
He did crazy things like putting 3 television sets out of a cello. Not that many people would think of doing that. His notes and works have been collected and put into one book for fans to research him. Sadly he died in 2006 due to a stroke. His piece with the cello is cool because it is a real cello. He didn’t make one, but he improvised it.
