Nam June Paik

So I was looking for a picture of Daniel Striped Tiger from Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, and somehow came across the news that Nam June Paik, famed video and performance artist, had died in January. The Internet is such a weird thing, the results that it produces for you are sometimes as disconnected as a night of bad dream imagery. The only things these two have in common are that I liked them both very much and now they're gone.

It just occured to me-they did both "work" with T.V. didn't they?

I remember seeing an installation of Paik's work-back in the early 70's maybe, at MOMA in NYC. All those magnets,monitors,colors. Topless Charlotte Moorman and her cello project. Nobody does work like that anymore. Do they?
