Nam June Paik (1932-2006) is a pioneer video artist I've mentioned. Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV is a nice documentary telling his story.
Paik is noted as one of the artists and creatives anticipating the Internet. Others would be Marshall McLuhan, with the Global Village, and Gene Youngblood, author of Expanded Cinema and Mass Media, the Future of Desire.
An early gallery supporter was the Carl Solway Gallery https://solwaygallery.com/ in little Cincinnati, Ohio, and big New York, New York. Both Carl Solway and Nam June Paik are deceased. There was some sort of irresolvable dispute between the estate of the gallery and the estate of the artist.
Meanwhile Korea has become an art and culture hub.
Steps in Gagosian.
Nam June Paik: Rewind / Repeat opens today in Seoul. Supported by the estate, it shows significant works in the artist's home town. It follows the closing of https://www.artsinohio.com/event/76721-nam-june-paik-in-cincinnati-a-history hosted by the local university.
