PRESS RELEASE FOR ELECTRONIC ART II BY NAM JUNE PAIK
NYC: Galeria Bonino, 1965
28 x 21.6cm, 1pp b/w. The first of a number of important shows at the New York gallery where Paik brought a new aesthetic to the artwork utlising new technology (video and tv set and later computers) to create various ground-breaking installations. The gallery press releases are detaile listings of the works and explain much of the background to the exhibitions - here the installation included a 6 foot high tall robot controlled by a '20 channel radio transmitter and 10 channel data recorder, 3 TV cameras and 23 cathode ray screens, of which all the circuits are invented or changed by Paik.' Short bio. Fine. Scarce.
