Synopsis

A History of Video Art is a critical introduction and guide to artists' video. It covers the period from the early 1960s - when video art first appeared as a distinctive medium - into the 1990s - when digital technology merged video's distinctive practice with that of independent film-making and photography. This artistic history is also a technological and a cultural history. A History of Video Art also sets its analysis of artistic practice firmly within the context of both the development of electronic imaging technology and the changing political and social climate. Richly illustrated, the book is essential reading for anyone interested in art history and contemporary art practice.

Media Reviews
'A History of Video Art does an excellent job of structuring a very complex field of activity, and one which defies any single history or approach. It will be of use to students in art and media, as a critical and historical introduction to this diverse field, as well as to general readers looking for a readable, concise, informative and generous guide to new media art.' A.L. Rees, Royal College of Art
