A rare screenprint and offset print by the legendary video art pioneer. Published by Edition Block in an edition of 60, signed and numbered, 55.4 x 82 cm. Nam June Paik (*1932 Seoul – †2006 Miami), the founding father of video art, consistently explored the relationship between technology, media, and organic life throughout his career. TV-Dog embodies this investigation—the fusion of the electronic and the biological, the mechanical and the animal. The work reflects Paik's playful yet profound examination of television as a transforming force in contemporary culture, while suggesting the domestication of technology and its integration into everyday existence. Paik was a key figure in the Fluxus movement and collaborated extensively with composer John Cage, cellist Charlotte Moorman, and engineer Shuya Abe. His groundbreaking video sculptures and installations—from TV Buddha to TV Garden to his monumental satellite broadcasts—redefined what art could be in the electronic age. TV-Dog carries forward this legacy in printed form, translating Paik's distinctive visual language of stacked monitors, organic forms, and technological intervention into a two-dimensional work. Published by Edition Block, the Berlin-based publisher founded by René Block who championed Paik and the Fluxus generation, this print represents a crucial document of Paik's practice in the 1990s. For collectors of video art documentation, Fluxus ephemera, and those who recognize Paik as one of the most visionary artists of the late twentieth century, this is an essential work.
