Nam June Paik / Charlotte Moorman

Nam June Paik participated in Fluxus. He made his big debut at the Exposition of Music-Electronic Television, in which he scattered televisions everywhere, and used magnets to alter or distort their images. In 1964, Paik moved to New York, and began working with cellist Charlotte Moorman. In a notorious 1967 incident, Moorman was arrested for going topless while performing Paik’s Opera Sextronique. Two years later, they performed TV Bra for Living Sculpture, in which Charlotte wore a bra with small TV screens over her breasts.
