Born in the 1930s, South Korean artist Paik Nam June studied in Korea, Japan and West Germany before moving to the United States to pursue his artistic career. Known as a trailblazer and credited with creating the field of Video Art in the 1960s, he was highly competent in a variety of media and was open to working with new technology to create innovative forms of art. Video Art is said to have been born when Paik used a Sony video camera to shoot footage of Pope Paul VI in New York City in 1965 and went on to exhibit the work.
