As stated in my brief I am going to look into how images refresh, compress and change as we deal with them. One person I’m looking at is the video artist Nam June Paik who sadly passed away three days ago at the age of 73.

Paik was an artist that was known around the world, he used the television and video to create vast installations and abstract screen pieces. I am looking and Paik to understand how images are broken up and displayed in a totally new style, thus making you look at them from a totally different angle be it on one television set or 200 television sets. I want to understand how he portrays his meanings in his work so that I can use what I have researched to produce a piece of my own that has the same impact be it digital or physical.
