Electronic Superhighway: Continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, commonly referred to as Electronic Superhighway, is an art installation created by Nam June Paik in 1995. Since 2002, the work has been on display in the Smithsonian American Art Museum (SAAM) in Washington, D.C. The large video artwork is composed of over 300 television sets, neon tubing, and 50 DVD players, to form a map of the United States. The map contains images on screens that Paik associated with each state. Some of the states display images that are commonly associated with them, while others are more obscure. The SAAM was gifted the work by Paik in 2002, seven years before the museum was given his archive. It has become one of the most popular pieces in the museum's contemporary art section. While the museum was under renovations, it was reassembled and later displayed for the first time in 2006, shortly after Paik's death. There was an exhibition of his work at the SAAM in 2012, which included Electronic Superhighway and items from his archive. After the museum underwent another renovation in the 2020s, Electronic Superhighway is once again available to view. It is among one of many works on display in the contemporary and post-1945 modern art sections that was created by people of color.
