Nam June Paik (1932 – 2006) was a Korean American artist best known for his work as the founder of Video Art. His music and video performances challenged how music was performed. In 1967, he was arrested for his performance of Sextronique with the musician Charlotte Moorman, in which Moorman performed topless while Paik’s shirtless back was the ‘bass’ for Moorman’s bow string. In the 1980s he turned to large, multi-video monitor installations. Although he left them behind, his influences of live performances were clear. He created gigantic monitor installations that looked more like robotic creatures than motionless video monitors. Most famously, he created Family of Robot, Aunt (1986) and Uncle (1986). These pieces were a visual interpretation produced by the television sets instead of the images inside them. He created what we may call ‘performative installations.’
