"Nam June Paik (1932-2006) is a pivotal figure in the history of modern art. Arguably
the most important video artist of all time, and certainly among the most influential
and prolific, Paik was a legendary innovator who transformed the electronic moving
image into an artist's medium. He wrote incessantly--corresponding with friends, composing
performance scores, making production notes for television projects, drafting plans
for video installations, writing essays and articles. Celebrated for his visionary
development of new artistic tools and for his pioneering work in video and television,
Paik often wrote to sharpen his thinking and hone his ideas. He used the typewriter
to fashion sentences that broke apart and reassembled themselves as he wrote, producing
both poetic texts and aesthetic objects on the page. This first extensive collection
of Paik's writings includes many previously unpublished and out-of-print texts. Drawing
on materials from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's Nam June Paik Archive and
from a range of international publications, We Are in Open Circuits offers important
but long-unavailable essays, including "Global Groove and Video Common Market"; unpublished
writings on such topics as his creative partnership with the cellist Charlotte Moorman
and the role of public television; a substantial part of his compilation "Scrutable
Chinese"; and detailed plans for some of his groundbreaking broadcast works, including
the trio Good Morning, Mr. Orwell (1984), Bye Bye Kipling (1986), and Wrap Around
the World (1988). It also includes nearly 150 pages that reproduce Paik's original
typed and handwritten pages, letting readers see his writing in various stages of
inspiration and execution."--Publisher's description
