In conjunction with the exhibition Play It Again, Paik, Nam June Paik Art Center presents Random Access Hall screenings from April through September. The exhibition is an exhibition that showcases interview footage of Nam June Paik from the video archive of the Nam June Paik Art center alongside his artworks. In the Random Access Hall, you can watch the original video of the interviews featured in the exhibition. 

The first program to be screened is the documentary Nam June Paik - Das Gute Gewissen der Avantgarde, produced by the WDR Television Station in 1977. Nam June Paik - Das Gute Gewissen der Avantgarde is a biographical documentary about Paik's artistic life, featuring many of the works in the exhibition. You'll recognize familiar footage from the exhibition, including Magnet TV, Candle TV, Paik-Abe Video Synthesizer, Suite 212 and Global Groove from the televisions in TV Garden. It's also interesting to see interview footage of Nam June Paik that didn't make it into the exhibition. He demonstrates the pattern generator that underpins his video synthesizers, explains that electrons are the smallest element of the universe, and that he seeks to unite with the entire universe. He also explains how he uses magnets to change the shape of the abstract moon in Moon is the Oldest TV, which can be found in the exhibition, and how he respects only human beings, not machines or money. In addition to Nam June Paik, the film also features some of his artistic colleagues, including Mary Bauermeister, Charlotte Moorman, and John Cage, shedding light on the artist's art from a variety of perspectives. We hope you enjoy this documentary and feel closer to Nam June Paik.
