When Namjune Paik met Artificial Intelligence

An experimental animation made with generative AI video tools, taking its motif from the art philosophy of Namjune Paik, who said, "One day everyone will have a television channel of their own," and, "Video is the common property of the community, something no one can monopolize and everyone can share easily." He held that media technology is an extension of the human being, an extension of the senses, of thought and of memory, and that the technology is only a tool while the human being is the message. His reading still holds in today's turn toward AI. His anti-technological method, which put electronics to work in art without being subjugated by them, and his intermedia method, which crossed the borders between media, still offer a great deal to the artists working now.
