Description
Video/Art: The First Fifty Years is a personal and expert account of the artists and events that defined the medium's first 50 years. Written by Barbara London, a true expert in the field, this book brings new artists into a lineage worthy of greater recognition.
The book explores how artists have adapted technology to art-making since the introduction of portable consumer electronics nearly half a century ago. London has worked closely with many of the artists featured, including Joan Jonas and Nam June Paik, to create a text that is both art-historical and personal.
Through her insights and anecdotes, London reveals how video art evolved from fringe status to become one of the foremost art forms of today. From analog to digital, she examines the transformation of video into the broader field of media art.
