The founder of video art, Nam June Paik (1932–2006) is renowned for coining the term “electronic superhighway.” In the 1970s, Paik envisioned a near future where emerging media technologies would link communities via global networks, effectively predicting the advent of the internet. A member of the 1960s Fluxus movement, Paik is credited with elevating the common television into a tactile and multi-sensory medium and art object.
