Saw this at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival.
"Nam June Paik: Moon Is the Oldest TV" is a documentary about the journey of Nam June Paik, famous Asian artists of the 20th century, who revolutionized the use of technology as artistic canvas and prophesied both fascist tendencies and intercultural understanding that interconnected metaverse. Throughout, the film was pretty informative and interesting to observe.
Nam June Paik is a very experimental artist and the documentary does a good job on examine his art, personality and the impact he has created with his work. The presentation visuals are pretty good, the sound designs was good and the editing choices were fitting as if the style was done from Paik himself. Most of the participants and narration dialogue were pretty interesting and helps to add context to the character.
The film does get a little too long as if some information felt repeated by the end but the overall learning about Paik is quite interesting. Overall, a good documentary.
Rating: B.
