South Korean born, video/electronic artist. Died yesterday at age 74. For all those in the Washington DC area, go to Herschorn Museum if you have not been. Great piece of his there....he does all the modern presidents on about 100 TV screens in a segueway pattern; everything melts into something new. Quite incredible. That piece always grabbed my attention everytime I went to Herschorn.
