Paying Due

I have been reading up on some of the first Video Artists. Above is a picture of Nam June Paik considered one of the first video artists. Among his work the one that really stood out for me is
Electronic Superhighway especially with the use of popular media to represent each of the states of America as well as the grand size of the installation. One site that I read (here) discussed that Paik's use of popular media was because it was through the media that Paik's understanding of America was shaped and defined.
