The Day Music Met Video Art: Sakamoto x Nam June Paik 🎹📺
Did you know that back in 1984, two of the greatest creative minds of the 20th century officially crossed paths?

I’m talking about the legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto (the "Professor") and the pioneer of video art, Nam June Paik. This wasn't just a casual "hello"—it was a total cultural reset! 💥

What went down?
The Satellite Connection: It all started with the world’s first global satellite art project, 'Good Morning, Mr. Orwell.' Sakamoto performed from Tokyo while Paik directed from NYC. Talk about a long-distance collab! 🛰️

The Studio Hangout: Later that year, Sakamoto actually flew to New York to visit Paik's studio. Imagine a room filled with vintage TVs, wires everywhere, and pure genius in the air.

The Vibe: Sakamoto later said he was blown away by how Paik was like a "brilliant child"—always playing, always experimenting, and never afraid of the future.

The Result? Their friendship gave us some of the coolest visuals of the 80s (check out the music video for 'All Star Video' if you haven't yet!). It was the moment electronic music and digital art truly became best friends. 🤝✨
