00:12 Although I'm an artist,
00:13 I'm not really concerned about so said art world.
00:17 I'm concerned to whole world.

00:26 Today, I thought we could talk about someone who's
00:28 widely regarded as the father of video art.
00:30 Nam June Paik, avant-garde musician, self-taught engineer.
00:33 The Nostradamus of the digital age.
00:35 He envisioned the Internet.
00:36 He could see where all of this was going.
00:38 [MUSIC]
00:41 This is a glimpse of a video landscape of tomorrow.
00:44 The future that he was predicting was
00:46 that every artist would be his own channel.
00:48 Look where we are now with selfies.
00:51 [MUSIC]
00:55 Like a super highway, it is called Internet.
00:58 The information super highway.
01:00 He had a different sense of purpose,
01:02 different idea of what an artist's job might be.

01:12 History will repeat itself if we don't plan the future carefully.
01:16 Television was the advanced technology in
01:21 having influence on other people.
01:23 We've had enough of that in the United States.
01:26 I wanted to carve out a different path.
01:28 But he was too early.
01:32 Looking in the rear view mirror as usual.
01:33 Being an artist in a medium that has no market
01:39 is enough of an existential threat.
01:42 I mean, I don't know how he lived.
01:43 [MUSIC]
01:47 He was afraid of having to return to Korea.
01:52 And fighting a war of persistence.
01:54 [MUSIC]
01:58 Nam June was non-stop.
02:03 What he was always interested in is to bring cultures together.
02:07 Shall we close this new year?
02:09 We know the world through the colonial guise.
02:12 How would it be if we were capable of actually seeing
02:15 the world from another point of view?
02:19 Nam June was always transcending our vision of reality,
02:23 opening up unbelievable possibilities.
