Video Reading

After reading the article about video art, I couldn't picture what they were talking about. I found that my imagination couldn't wrap itself around what it would be like, or how it would be worthy of a gallery exhibition. In the article it says that, "video art stands as a potentiality of artistic expression's major roles in human communication: to give access to other ways of conceptualization." I guess I just wasn't conceptualizing in other ways. So, I went to the web site of the artist mentioned in the article, Nam June Paik to see what this was. It was really interesting - in some pieces there were many TV screens, each with images, that combined into one big image. Other pieces were TV screens with images put together to form TV people. Very creative, and an interesting truly different and new medium than art of the past. It could only be modern. Check out this web page for a different kind of art. http://www.paikstudios.com/gallery/gallery_index.html
