The Nam June Paik Art Center is located in Yongin, a city on the outskirts of Seoul. The centre is dedicated to the work of 20th century Korean artist Nam June Paik,  and “aspires to reactivate the experimental and interventionist spirit of 20th century and contemporary art practices in order to become a locus where aesthetic, political, and social potentialities contribute to questioning and redefining the relationships between art, philosophy, media and life.”
