Nam June Paik Art Center Prize
The Nam June Paik Art Center Prize was established in 2009.[4] It is "awarded to artists and theorists whose works are . . . amalgamating art and technology, pursuing new ways of communication, interacting with audiences, and fusing and conflating music, performance and visual art."[4] The prize includes a solo exhibition at the Center.[5][6]
