Description

Video art has evolved significantly since its inception forty years ago. Today, it is a ubiquitous art form, dominating international exhibitions and artistic events. This comprehensive overview covers all significant art ideas and forms from recent times, including Abstract, Conceptual, Minimal, Performance, Pop, photography, and film. The book features abundant illustrations of frames and sequences, showcasing the medium's history from its early practitioners to the present day. It explores the work of artists such as Gary Hill, Bill Viola, Inigo Manglano-Ovalle, Mary Lucier, Michal Rovner, and others, highlighting key developments in the 1980s and 1990s. A new chapter delves into the recent use of video in "the new cinematics," including multi-screen installations, immersive environments, and alternative sculpture. With over 383 illustrations, this updated edition provides a detailed history of video art, from its early beginnings to its current state.
