Nam June Paik (백남준, 1932-2006), was a modern Korean artist considered to be the founder of “video art”, which uses video, television, and other electronic appliances as a medium of artistic expression. The birth of video art, which is regarded as an extended concept of cinematic art, allowed artworks to take forms different from conventional painting or sculpture.

During this period, Paik met the composer John Cage and was inspired by him, and also joined the Fluxus radical international avant-garde movement and presented various avant-garde and experimental performances.
