(
July 20 ,
1932 –
January 29 ,
2006 ) was a
South Korea n-born
American Art ist, particularly noted for his
Video Art .
Paik studied music history, art history, and philosophy at the
University Of Tokyo , where he graduated with a dissertation on
Arnold Schoenberg . He went to Germany in
1956 to continue the study of music history at the
University Of Munich . In Germany he met composers
Karlheinz Stockhausen and
John Cage , who inspired Paik to go into electronic art. Paik worked with Stockhausen in a studio for Electronic Music. He also became involved with the post neo-Dada art movement
Fluxus , founded by
George Maciunas . He was a frequent collaborator with cellist
Charlotte Moorman .
He began working with modified television sets in
1963 and bought his first video camera in
1965 , returning to Japan to conduct experiments with
Electromagnet s and color television alongside electronic engineer Shuya Abe. With Abe he constructed his first
Video Synthesizer while artist-in-residence at
WGBH , the Boston public broadcaster. He was known for using rapid cuts and fast motion in his videos. He also claimed to have coined the term "
Information Superhighway " in a paper written in 1974.
He will be remembered as a founding father of
Video Art and will continue to influence the younger generation of artists. A
Space Rock music group known as
Paik is named in his honour.
"Art is just fraud. You just have to do something nobody else has done before", he famously declared during an interview with a Korean newspaper, and this has now become a popular quote.
He died on
January 29 2006 , at his apartment in
Miami ,
Florida , of natural causes.
