Artist: Nam June Paik, Tate November, 2019

I really enjoyed this exhibition and will do doubt return when I will spend more time there, and maybe even make proper notes. In the meantime, I felt the following was important to record and ingest.

The statement for TV Garden describes how Paik “imagines a future landscape where technology is an integral part of the natural world”. And “His approach follows a Buddist philosophy that everything is interdependent. It also suggests that technology not in conflict with nature but an extension of the human realm. ” (Tate, 2019) I would say more than an extension and using Barad’s word, intra-related. I think that word is one of the most useful things (amongst a lot of useful things) to come out of my study of her ideas.
