Nam June Paik


 This is Nam June Paik(백남준). He is one of my favorite korean artists. He worked with a variety of media and is considered to be the first video artist.


 These pictures are some of the productions that he made.
     
    
 The work in the left is his last production, called "Omma". "Omma" is a Korean word which means mommy. In the video, three sisters are playing and calling their mom anxiously. He covered the video monitor with a traditional Korean man's overcoat which is called, "doorumagi".
