Nam June Paik

I am in love with Nam June Paik's work.  I am really interested in how he uses the error in his videos to his advantage.  Paik does not see errors as mistakes, but rather as an enhancement to his pieces.  This relates to our own video art projects because we need to embrace the errors.  It is unnecessary to fix the errors because they can be used to make the project unique and different.

Paik uses neon in many of his pieces and incorporates videos as well.  I think this is genius of Paik, and he creates works of art that is so new, which is why he stands out among other artists.  His "Electronic Superhighway" is one f his most famous pieces and is my personal favorite.  He takes the flat television screens and turns it into something that is completely different in order to represent the United States.  Genius.
