Nam June Paik used technology as an art form, and has often been called the godfather/grandfather/George Washington of video art.

One of his exhibits was made of 52 TVs that were each covered by an aquarium filled with water and fish that swam around in front of what was appearing on the TVs. Another piece he did was "TV Buddha," in which a sculpture of a seated Bhudda who watched humself on a closed circuit television.
