Nam June Paik, Tiger Lives, 1999
The title of this exhibition—The City of Nam June Paik: The Sea Fused with The Sun-explores the transcendent experience of time and space created by video, grounded in video-connected life that Nam June Paik envisioned and his deep contemplation of the nature of video’s spatiotemporal dimensions. This exhibition spotlights contemporary artists Yiyun Kang, Gijeong Goo, Hyewon Kwon, and Inhwa Yeom, who are living in the multilayered video environments shaped today’s cutting-edge technologies and transforming this experience into art.
The videos presented on vast media screens unfold as spaces that transcend the boundary between reality and the virtual—sharper than reality itself and filled with hypersensory stimulation. Through the light of electronic signals that carry video images and sounds, we encounter the events and narratives of humankind.
This unfamiliar temporal-spatial experience envelops us, guiding us into an intense, hypersensory encounter. Where this flow of immersion leads remains unknown, yet its traces permeate our consciousness, settling deep within, where we discover our commonalities through the universal archetypes that humanity shares. Ultimately, through this experience of “video immersion,” we come to realize that we are far more profoundly interconnected than we might ever have imagined.
