With his manipulated televisions, robots and satellite videos, the South Korea-born artist offered some of the earliest and most insightful reflections on the then-emerging information age. This survey of more than 200 works – the largest ever arranged in the UK, co-organised with the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art where it will travel next year – begins with Paik’s early collaborations with the Fluxus group in the 1960s, takes in seminal installations such as TV Garden (1974), and culminates in a full recreation of his Sistine Chapel (1993), for which he was awarded the Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale.
