Notes from "An Essential Guide to Video Art"
- Video Art instillation are experimental in using "The Body the Image, & the Space-in Between"
- suggests temporary occupation of space
- the frame of the piece is the 'room' that it inhabits
- visitor often interacts or even helps make up the piece, not the artist
- not theatrical
- two and three dimensions freely interact
- Two types can be differentiated by tense- closed-circuit video can relay images and sound of visitors in one or more monitors-----this explores the fit between images and the built environment; process of mediating power.
-recorded-video art installation--like a spectator on a stage, a conceptual world is made manifest as literal and visual objects set in a physical relation to each other
- Basically the difference is how the visitor interacts, and is the video prerecorded.
- TV? to be art---the placement is purposeful and engaging with the space
- Different degrees to which the installation work occupies 3D space---video wall, kinetic painting, relief, sculpture, and installation
- With multiple monitors-comparison and contrast
- You have to physically experience these pieces
- DVD players------add new dimension with what you can do.
