He was a Korean-American artist with global presence and i<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">nfluence. His work is a fusion between art, media and technology. The exhibition is named \u2018The Future Is Now\u2019 and features his artwork across fifty years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">He strongly believed in the power of mass media and recognised one day the whole world would be connected through it. With this in mind, Paik became a pioneer in video and installation art and an important figure of modern art.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The pieces include sculptures of robots made from old TV sets, video installations such as \u2018TV Garden\u2019 (1974-77) and a number of interactive pieces as well. Other highlights include his collaborative work with other artist\u2019s, musicians, sculptors and performers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-30553 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/img_8614\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2019\/10\/IMG_8614-1-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-30560\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-30560'>\n\t\t\t\tNam June Paik Exhibition.
