Nam June Paik’s artistic experiments, especially the distortion of the electronic image with magnets, from which he started, provide the author a defining example and reference point for his audiovisual work. The possible combinations of analog and digital techniques open up new doors for contemporary media artists. In this artistic statement the author describes some of his own experimental works of art in the hopes of stimulating a discourse on experimentation and innovation.

The sense organs are not separated from each other. Contemporary art strives towards a holistic approach. The experimental artist is more sensitive to innovations and the exploitation of new opportunities, and the one who plays against the usual use of the medium or apparatus. This is a fundamental attitude towards progressive art. It would be a mistake to leave analog technology out of this contemporary story .
