Nam June Paik's PBS (1963-2000)

Korean-American artist Nam June Paik (1932-2006) is generally considered the father of video art. As a key figure in the Fluxus movement, he worked closely with John Cage, David Bowie, Yoko Ono and a host of other renowned artists.
Paik's sculptures can be found in major museums around the world, including the Whitney in New York and the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. This features looks at the recent restoration of one of his major works, PBS (1963-2000), at the former NJN Public Television building in Trenton, New Jersey.
Eric Schultz produced and directed the feature for "State of the Arts." Joe Conlon and Andrew Wilkinson served as videographers and Dan Gordon narrates.

For the art historians out there this piece was actually the result of a competition, I think there were about half a dozen artists that submitted proposals but Matt Mullican is the only one I remember. The drawings shown are actually by a guy named Mark Patsfall who designed the piece and oversaw its construction and installation for Nam June. The piece was originally constructed in Paik’s “factory” in Cincinnati and the neon was fabricated by a man named Steve Wartman. The video was created with and for Nam June by Paul Garrin.
