Who was Nam June Paik, video artist, musician and arguably the most famous Korean artist in modern history? Director Amanda Kim tells the story of Paik, the 'father of video art' and his meteoric rise in the New York art scene including his Nostradamus-like visions of a future in which 'everybody will have his own TV channel.' Paik's predictions included the 'Electronic Superhighway' where technologies would connect to global networks and how the future of the internet wouldn't be quite the utopia of free-flowing information imagined in the 1990's.

Paik's future is now all around us and Nam June Paik: Moon is the Oldest TV shows us how we got here.

This screening begins with a talk from NCM's Senior Curator Jemimah Widdicombe on Nam June Paik and his vision of the future. 

Combine this screening with your last chance to view Paik's famous video sculpture Internet Dream, 1994, currently on display at NCM in Signal to Noise until Sunday 14 September.
