Nam June Paik: Moon Is The Oldest TV

Wednesday, June 7 | 7:30pm

MOCA and The Loft Cinema present a new documentary that chronicles the life and times of internationally celebrated Korean-born artist Nam June Paik (1936-2006), a pillar of the American avante-garde in the 20th century. Often referred to as the “Father of Video Art,” Paik coined the term “Electronic Superhighway” long before the internet was omnipresent, and heavily influenced generations of artists in all genres.

The screening will take place at The Loft Cinema located at: 3233 E. Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ 85716.
