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]
