The Worlds of Nam June Paik

No artist has had a greater influence in imagining and realizing the artistic potential of video and television than Korean-born Nam June Paik. Through a vast array of installations, videotapes, global television productions, films, and performances, Paik has reshaped our perceptions of the temporal image in contemporary art. The Worlds of Nam June Paik transforms the Guggenheim Museum into a celebration of the moving image and an appreciation of Paik's impact on the art of the late-twentieth century.

Video Commune, a Web site created for the occasion by Electronic Arts Intermix and the Guggenheim Museum, draws from EAI's extensive documentation of Paik's single-channel videotapes to present an interactive view of his collaborations with other artists, dancers, and musicians.
