Nam June Paik creates video art that addressed the latest technology of the year it was created. He was known as the "father of video art". He gained some of his inspiration from composer John Cage (who used everyday objects and sounds to create music). Similarly, Paik used televisions and video cameras. He is most famous for his use of the term "electronic super highway" which many say was foreshadowing for the modern day internet.
Wolf Vostell was a video artist also part of the Fluxus movement in New York. He is known as the "father of the happening". He mainly experimented with single frames he pulled from television and media.
