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.
