About this title

Synopsis

Over the last four decades, video art has undergone numerous transformations. If in the mid-1960s, video was used by artists to record performances created in an isolated studio, now with digital technology artists can compete with the magic of cinema and develop a singularly fertile exchange with it, which has been fundamental in creating the poetic language of video works today. An indispensable instrument in understanding video art, this volume offers a panoramic view of the history of this medium and the major artists in the collection active on the international scene, including Joseph Beuys, Fluxus, Bruce Nauman, William Kentridge, Tony Oursler, Martha Rosler, Sophie Calle, Bill Viola, Robert Wilson, to name a few.
