Join SAAM’s celebration of artist Nam June Paik’s birthday with a screening of the 2023 documentary, Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV (107 min) that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival. Known as the “father of video art,” Paik transformed twentieth-century art with his innovative media-based artwork.

The film explores Paik’s career and influence through his writings, archival footage, and clips of his work. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Executive Producer David Koh, Director Amanda Kim, and SAAM’s Curator of Time-Based Media, Saisha Grayson.
