Editing Nam June Paik (section)

==Influence==
As a pioneer of [[video art]] his influence was from a student he met at [[CalArts]] named [[Sharon Grace]] he described her as "pure genius" from the moment they met.{{Citation needed|date=November 2021}}  The two met while she was filming fellow students at random with her Sony Portapak as an artistic [[sociological]] practice akin to the artist in the studio. This led to ''[[TV Buddha]]'' and people's model of the internet as we know it today with such art pieces as "Send / Receive". The artwork and ideas of Nam June Paik were a major influence on late 20th-century art and continue to inspire a new generation of artists. [[Contemporary artists]] considered to be influenced by Paik include [[Christian Marclay]], [[Jon Kessler]], [[Cory Arcangel]], [[Ryan Trecartin]] and [[Haroon Mirza]].<ref name="Karen Rosenberg-2013"/>
