Look all u have to do is experience it with an open mind. If it doesnt speak to u on any level dont stress over it. Nam June is one of the 20th Centurys great artists - the grand daddy of video art. PS. Not sure if Id call Hirst a genius compared to Piak, no way.

iam sorry to pop the nausiating questions again but: what is art? who is an artist? i guess opinions vary from person to person but what youre watching here isnt pideonholed in the same catagory of "art" to that of the works of daffinger and the like. i dont think it undermines the idea of "art" in any way. i think it strengthens it, by showing that an "artist" doesnt need to obey the blue prints from the big guy or conform to the tastes of the majority to create stuff that people want to see.

Tranquil- so what is the intended symbolism behind the breast and the match at the end? Or is the only purpose that it serves being controversial and obscure for the sake of controversial obscurity?

1. no,like i said, "it is" a matter of subjectivity. 2. yes, exclusive to those with IQ above 30. ^_^

Oh most certainly it is a matter of intelligence! So it is safe to say your I.Q. is a tested 139 then? Only then your statement would be true ... by one point ;-) Now, tell me this: Why would you, beeing as smart as you obviously are, write something so useless and unimaginative instead of simply TELLING me the "reason behind it"? Or is your genius bound to some kind of exclusivity? That would make you either a silent genius or a loud fool. Both are equally useless.

Youve got a point there but ask yourself this: Does it not undermine the great lenghts artists have gone thru to create magnificent pieces thruougt history? How would you explain to a child why this is better in your opinion (or in anyones) than say the sixtine chapel or daffingers work ... they took years for what they did ... not copying someone elses music and mixing it with weird pictures ... I understand modern art ... i mean Damien Hirst is a genius but this i realy dont get...

its a subjective thing really... its only a great thing to watch if you understand te reason behind it. and to understand the reason behind it...you'll have to be...less...stupid.

Sound and image connected in a poetic ballet, Paik was an e-sound artist before playing with video images, if anything Electronic Moon no2 shows his time-based musical influence in exploring (visual) reality.. what a beautiful, funny, witty vision of the moon!
