Our take
Crackling with ideas like feedback on a video monitor, Nam June Paik was dubbed the “Nostradamus of the digital age” for his piercing insight into the modern media landscape. Voiced by Steven Yeun, Amanda Kim’s eclectic portrait paints a vivid picture of Paik’s outlandish, boundary-pushing vision.
