Video art is an artform which relies on moving pictures in a visual and audio medium. Video art came into existence during the late 1960s and early 1970s as new consumer video technology became available outside corporate broadcasting. Video art can take many forms: recordings that are
broadcast;
installations viewed in galleries or museums; works streamed online, distributed as
video tapes, or
DVDs; and
performances which may incorporate one or more
television sets,
video monitors, and projections, displaying ‘live’ or recorded images and sounds;.
