See the world through the eyes of Nam June Paik, the father of video art and coiner of the term ‘electronic highway’.

American Masters – Nam June Paik: Moon is the Oldest Television traces the creative evolution of Paik, as Oscar nominee Steven Yeun (minari, The Walking Dead) reads the visionary artist’s own writings. Stream the acclaimed documentary today on PBS.org and the PBS app.

Directed by Amanda Kim, the documentary traces Paik’s life from his childhood in Japanese-occupied Korea and his formative upbringing in Germany to his rise on the New York art scene and beyond. Paik is considered one of the most influential artists of Korean descent. His most notable works include “tv buddha» (1974) and «Hello Mr. Orwell(1984).
