Thanks so much for this great contribution. I looked at both the video and the article. Nam June Paik, the artist, was really out there in a good way and though some of his performances and even this video sometimes seem like spectacle to me, they really boggle the mind in a good way and push us all out of our comfort zone. That, of course, is one of the purposes of art. To make us think differently, to shake us out of our routine ways of being, and to make us consider new possibilities.
