The “Becoming Robot” exhibit at Asia Society was a very interesting display of Nam June Paik’s life and incredible contributions to video technology. The first thing you see in the exhibit is a robot that Paik built than can walk, talk and actually defecate. The rest of the exhibit explains other contributions that Paik made to video technology. Among his other impressive accomplishments was his “Family” of Robots, where he built robots with TV screens and actually developed a family of robots, including a Father, Mother and Child. This was a very entertaining exhibition because, even though technology has advanced far beyond Paik, his accomplishments are still amazing and meaningful. Without his contributions it is likely that video technology would have taken a longer time to develop into what it is today and the popularity likely would not have reached the same levels. This is definitely an exhibition worth seeing in order to see how far technology has come and how far ahead of his time Paik was.
