Nam June Paik: Art and Process
The Smithsonian American Art Museum held a one day event, Nam June Paik: Art and Process, combining talks by academics and artists on Paik, a gallery tour of the Paik show in the galleries- Nam June Paik: Global Visionary, and a performance- Strange Music for Nam June Paik– by some of Paik’s contemporaries- Ryuichi Sakamoto, Stephen Vitiello, and Steina Vasulka.
The talks were great, the exhibition is fantastic, and the performance blew my night out of the water.

This is as painful as it is supposed to be.

So far a man shushed a baby, a violin was smashed, 2 people left and a lady filmed the whole 1st part with a mini iPad. Amazing.

Comparing
#Paik with Seurat. Pixels and paint dots. Interesting. -Zinman -

For a
#mediaarchivist, Stephen Vitiello’s stories about boxes of open reel#paik audio stab me in the heart. -
AUDIO PRESERVATION SCARE. Stephen Vitiello gets the award for scariest slide showing dead open reel tapes.

Jud Yulkut-
#Paik told us to shoot with all content on the sides of frame so when it migrated to TV, there would be nothing on screen. -
Excellent! “
