GYOPO is a collective of diasporic Korean cultural producers and arts professionals generating and sharing progressive, critical, intersectional and intergenerational discourses, community alliances, and free educational programs in Los Angeles and beyond. Currently in production is the first feature-length documentary on Nam June Paik (1932-2006), the Korean American artist hailed as “the father of video art.” Directed by Amanda Kim with a team that includes veteran producers David Koh and Jennifer Stockman as well as curators Christine Kim and Ellie Lee, Nam June Paik: Man on the Electronic Superhighway (working title), will offer unprecedented insight into the artist’s work and life and will frame his practice as deeply relevant to contemporary concerns about the threats and promises of technology.
