Nam June Paik (1932-2006) Korea / USA

Inspired by his Zen-influenced belief that innate distinctions between the natural and the technological would eventually and inevitably diminish, Paik combined television sets with natural elements such as live plants and fish in his large-scale installations. For Paik, the boundary between nature and technology was fluid and ambiguous, the two realms interconnected rather than contrasting or unrelated. In fact, by altering the functions and characteristics of new technologies, Paik’s art created an alternative technology that is closely linked to nature and its principles.

Paik stated: ‘my experimental TV is not always interesting but not always uninteresting. Like nature, which is beautiful, not because it changes beautifully, but simply because it changes’. Even in his most technically complicated and challenging works, such asTV Garden here and Moon is the Oldest TV, which can be seen in a later room, Paik clearly sought to use electronic and digital manipulation to echo and suggest the natural world, with its continual and unpredictable flux and change.  http://www.tate.org.uk

Charlotte Moorman (1933-91) USA,   cellist, performance artist

Paik’s collaboration with cellist Charlotte Moorman was a deeply significant one for both artists. Sharing common interests in avant-garde music and in challenging classical canons, Paik and Moorman first met and performed together at the Second Annual New York Avant-Garde Festival in 1964, which Moorman organised. They developed a repertoire of provocative performances involving Moorman playing the cello in various states of undress and using Paik’s television sculptures as part of her costume. Paik and Moorman organised and participated in several concerts and live events in Europe and the USA in the late 1960s and 1970s. 

Paik reflected in 1969 on their collaboration: ‘The real issue implied in Art and Technology is not to make another scientific toy, but how to humanize the technology and the electronic medium … TV Brassiere for Living Sculpture (Charlotte Moorman) is also one sharp example to humanize electronics … and technology. By using TV as bra … the most intimate belonging of [a] human being, we will demonstrate the human use of technology, and also stimulate viewers, not for something mean but stimulate their phantasy to look for the new, imaginative and humanistic ways of using our technology.’  www.tate.org.uk

istytehcrawk reblogged your post “I'm curious about your thoughts on the Mormon Church's recent decision...”

How do you think Kurt would react to the decision? Would it cause a crisis of faith or make him turn away from the church?

Trying not to be too oblique here, but a detailed answer would give away too much of the story, because most of the next part focuses on his mission and, at this point (fall 2015) Kurt is already done with his mission.

What I can say, though, is that he would be surprised by it. In recent years, the general authorities (the men who make policy decisions for the church) have taken a gentler approach toward the issue of homosexuality. See for example http://mormonsandgays.org/, which may not seem progressive to most but is super-progressive considering where the church had been previously.

Outright meanness has usually been limited to a couple apostles who recently died. So that kind of rhetoric and cruelty seemed to be a thing of the past.

This move is a real punch in the gut. No matter where he is in his faith journey, for all the reasons I outlined in my previous post, he would feel betrayed.

[Something I didn’t note in my previous blog is that Mormons who associate with apostates can be barred from going to the temple. Temples are places where many of the ordinances  necessary for salvation are performed, and many devout Mormons try to go to them as often as they can. If Mormons or ex-Mormons in same-sex relationships are apostates, that means any Mormon who maintains a close relationship with them could be at risk of not being allowed in the temple. Removing somebody’s temple privileges is at the discretion of a bishop, and I imagine that most Mormon bishops are good, loving people at heart and would not remove temple privileges for this reason. But there are always people for whom following the letter of the law is very important, and they  might be inclined to bar friends/family of Mormon/ex-Mormons in same-sex relationships from the temple. Listen to a few Mormons who love going to the temple and have had their temple privileges removed, and you will understand that this is a huge effing deal.]

If people are interested, I’m sure there will be a lot of talk about this in the gay and progressive Mormon blogging and podcasting universe today, and I can do a link round-up sometimes in the next few days.
