Which artist created the video art piece Electronic Superhighway?

• A. Banksy
• B. Shepard Fairey
• C. Nam June Paik
• D. Marina Abramović

Answer: (C)

Nam June Paik helped pioneer video art, and Electronic Superhighway is his monumental video installation that uses hundreds of televisions arranged as a map of the United States to collage clips from TV, film, and other media. It examines how electronic media shapes culture and perception in America, capturing the rise of mass media in a single immersive work. The other artists are known for different practices—Banksy for street graffiti, Shepard Fairey for poster art and graphic design, Marina Abramović for performance art—so they did not create this piece. This makes Nam June Paik the correct answer.
