~The More, the Better, Nam June Paik’s most famous sculpture, was called “a gigantic tower of televisions… a majestic beast of an artwork — captivating, ingenious, exhilarating, and kind of hilarious” by Andrew Russeth (Artforum’s Best of 2022). The term “the electronic superhighway” was first used by Nam June Paik (1932–2006), a Korean-born, German–educated, and lifelong resident of New York. A master of morphing into different personas, he was a classical composer, subversive trickster, inventor of experimental “interventions” (which he dubbed “action music”), and, according to friends, a multilingual speaker of nine languages. (all badly). Hegel, Schoenberg, traditional Korean dance, Buddhism, space exploration, and other ideas were all inspirations on Paik.
