VIDEOART

Artistic production using video as a support with two main functions: to film the performance or as an autonomous element incorporating itself into the new discourse of art. Video art is an artistic movement that emerged in the United States and Europe around 1963, living its peak in the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century, although it still maintains its validity. It experienced the different trends of the time, such as fluxus (with which it is especially related), conceptual art, performances or minimalism. Video art is a type of art that is based on moving images and consists of video and/or audio data. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are broadcast, videos in galleries or other venues, or distributed as videotapes or DVD discs; sculptural installations, which may incorporate one or more television sets or video monitors, visualization of ‘live’ or recorded images and sound; and performances that include video representations.
