NAM JUNE PAIK: EDITED FOR TELEVISION is a provocative portrait of the artist, his work and philosophies. Taped in his Soho loft, with the multi-monitor piece "Fish Flies on Sky" suspended from the ceiling, this film features an interview of Paik by art critic Calvin Tompkins (who wrote a NEW YORKER profile of the artist in 1975) and ironic commentary by host Russell Connor. On a guided tour of his loft, Paik discusses the prototype of the Paik-Abe Synthesizer and demonstrates his early altered television sets and video sculptures.
