Nam Jun Paik (1932-2005)

For anyone who didn't see... Nam Jun Paik died Sunday. Write-up at: Art Obituary, New York Times (1/31/2006)

In December I had the chance to see one of his pieces (One Candle) at the Palazzo delle Papesse's "Guardami, Percezione del video" show... a single lit candle in a dark room filmed in real time and projected wall size with multiple projectors to create a bizarre, super kaleidoscopic refraction of reds, greens and blues that still managed to give a rather sublime feeling to the viewer.
