Each issue of   focuses on a specific theme; the first issue had a subtitle “Contributions to an Artistic Anthropology.” The second issue of now out carries five papers dealing with the topic of “ecological thinking.” Ecology is handled in these papers, not only as a notion that normally conjures up such words as ’living organism’ or ‘nature,’ but also philosophical, aesthetic, anthropological and political ones over the broader environment that humans and non-humans share. Ecological thinking is crucial to Nam June Paik’s art which delves into relationality and connectivity to situate man, machine and nature in a single framework, which the authors analytically explore in the papers. This book also features essays on the Nam June Paik Art Center Archives and the interview project, which are important part of the Nam June Paik Art Center’s academic activities, in order to increase the interest of many researchers in Paik's art and life.
