USA, 2023, Amanda Kim
Trailblazing Korean-American artist Nam June Paik (1932-2006) is widely recognized as the inventor of video art. This acclaimed new film (100% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes as of 3/7) traces this pioneer’s trajectory—from his beginnings in Korea to his life-changing discovery of John Cage’s work, from his involvement in the Fluxus experimental art collective to his eventual emergence as an international art world superstar. “For anyone interested in the origins of what we now call video art, not to mention mass media and the internet, it’s essential viewing. Paik was a true visionary who foresaw the virtual world we now live in.” –Hollywood Reporter. Cleveland premiere. DCP. 107 min.
