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.

00:19 [MUSIC]

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.

01:05 [MUSIC]

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.
