Moving Pictures notes
- Video is a familiar medium
- different than film and television
VIDEO = a means of preservation that retains the recorded material in a state of permanent availability and manipulation
- today video can be produced and edited entirely on a computer
- video can be easily manipulated because of its large pool of material
- Brecht pointed out the risk of enforced conformity and indoctrination
- Names to know (N2K) - Nam June Paik (Electronic Superhighway)
- Vilem Flusser (N2K) - 1991 = "dialogical memory"
- Video art is often considered self-reflexive?
- 1960s = "broke with conventional genre notions"
- the medium was often interdisciplinary - plastic arts, music, dance, theater, etc. were all combined with video art
- difference between American and German television - German television only broadcast at night -> different types of media coverage
- Paik = such a presence -> "Exposition of Music - Electronic Television"
- Germany - overarching theme.. really into video art
- video depends on the current state of technological development more than almost any other artistic medium
- 1967 - Sony put the first analogue video device on the market
- (N2K) - Les Levine, Andy Warhol - some of the first artists to use the portable video equipment immediately after it appeared
- new innovations were created to distort television images - synthesizers were later developed by a number of artists to allow for direct video manipulation
