https://img-lib.musabi.ac.jp/search/document/detail-work/5780 Nam June Paik is an artist representative of the high-technology era who introduced the new expressive form of “video art” into contemporary art and developed it into “media art,” giving contemporary people dreams and visions and opening a new, rich world of creation. At a time when technology, hitherto pursued for utilitarian purposes, is changing our senses and receptor systems, Paik argued that technology needs to be humanized through art, transforming television from a medium supplied to us one-way into a means of human expression. “Good Morning, Mr. Orwell” was his first attempt. A real-time two-way communication project using satellite broadcasting, it is satellite art in the form of a live satellite broadcast between New York and Paris. The New York and Paris recordings that day featured Joseph Beuys, Laurie Anderson, John Cage, John Sanborn, Merce Cunningham, Yves Montand, Peter Gabriel, Thompson Twins, Philip Glass, and others, and were also broadcast in the United States, France, West Germany, South Korea, and elsewhere. The first work in the satellite trilogy.
