American Masters

Global Groove (1973) | Nam June Paik full video art

28m 41s

"Global Groove" is a smorgasbord of experimental visual expressions. Artist Nam June Paik and his team have laid out a dense palette of video art in a stream-of-conscious presentation that influenced decades of work that followed. The project served as a manifesto on global communications and brought together Neo-Dada sensibilities to truly disrupt the television-viewing experience.
