Nam June Paik was born in Seoul in 1932 but his family fled to Japan during the Korean War where Paik studied music and aesthetics at the University of Tokyo. His passion for experimental music led him to Germany, at that time a centre for avant-garde music and there he worked closely with Karlheinz Stockhausen. He also met John Cage whose ideas on music and performance further inspired him to experiment with everyday sounds in his compositions.
