Selective artworks of new media master Nam June Paik including nine pieces of video works, 3 pieces of video installations and 42 photographs will be presented in the show to demonstrate the process of his experimentation with video and television during 1960s. Nam June Paik, best known as the founder and father of video and media art, was born in 1932 in Seoul, Korea and died in 2006 at Miami, USA. He was a master representative of the 21st century modern art alongside figures such as Joseph Beuys, Andy Warhol and Marcel Duchamp. His vision was to create new beauty by combining human and technology by means of taking the terminable reciprocities of artificial and natural things. And just as science and technology had been created on the basis of human evolution, Paik emphasized the necessity of an amicable relationship between nature and human beings.
