I instantly become a fan of Paik. One of my favorite memories from the 90's was getting to see the premiere of his huge installation show: "The Electronic Super Highway" in my hometown at the Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art back in 1994. Years later after moving north, I got a chance to see his 2000 retrospective show at the Guggenheim - just overwhelming in its scope and impact. I look forward to taking my wife and children to the Smithsonian to see this exhibit when it opens. Everyone should be fortunate enough to have a chance to see his work in person.

As a person, he could be outrageously funny in a zen-like manner. A true original. His work managed to achieve both a deep personal expression and a trenchant social
