Summary :
With irreverent good humor, this affectionate homage to artist Nam June Paik uses Paik's own rapid-fire editing and dizzying collage techniques to evoke his wide-ranging influence in video and contemporary art. The work features excerpts from Paik's tapes and installations intercut with appearances by Charlotte Moorman and John Cage to paint a portrait of a man who won’t sit still. Musician Peter Gordon reinterprets Paik's signature Devil with a Blue Dress.
