Nam June Paik’s video work Global Groove (1973) opened new horizons in the art world: reflecting on television, he used the new medium of video and created a work using pop music and people dancing – a kind of early music video. This was in the year 1973; the digital age was still very young, there were no computers or video games yet. But there was already art’s fascination with the digital world, and vice versa. Nowadays the digital world has become part of our everyday life and a political force in itself.
