Video Installation Art

Video Installation Art emerged as something to be viewed beyond the confinements of your home or showing of art developed. (pg. 124) The physical presentation and surrounding has become part of the art itself. One famous practice of early video installation is in the form of surveillance cameras. It was artist, Les Levine, that showed viewers recording images of themselves on a series of monitors inside an art gallery. Although this may not be what we normally consider art, I think its contribution to the art world is still very important and has a great impact in the society. We have seen murals go to drawings, then to painting and then to cameras and televisions. It is just amazing how technological advanced it has all become and can't wait to see what the future holds!
