Nam June Paik

Used a wheelchair since 1996 when he suffered a stroke that paralyzed his left side but he remained active creatively until 2005 when his condition worsened.
In a 1960 piano performance in Cologne he played Chopin, threw himself on the piano and rushed into the audience attacking Composer John Cage and pianist David Tudor by cutting their clothes with scissors and dumping shampoo on their heads.
By the 1950's Paik's performances were more likely to involve whistles or egg beaters than conventional instruments.
