1. Video art [videorecording]

   Princeton, NJ : Films for the Humanities & Sciences, c2005.

   Video art explores the relationship between video art and popular culture; making the distinction that video art is more than performance documented on video and usually has a complete lack of editing. All of the video clips are described as allegories of narrative.

2. Video art

   Rush, Michael

   New York, N.Y. : Thames & Hudson, 2003.

   A overview of an art form born over 35 years ago and now ubiquitous. It is divided into three sections: the first examines how certain artists have used the video camera as an extension of themselves; the second deals with the use of narrative; and the third with the hybridization of technology.

3. Video art

   Martin, Sylvia, 1964-

   Köln ; Los Angeles : Taschen, c2006.

   The immediacy and accessibility of video makes it an ideal medium for artists who want to work with sound and moving image; no sooner than video cameras were available to the public in the 1970s were artists already beginning to experiment with the possibilities of video. Though it took decades for it to be widely embraced by mainstream art, video is now firmly accepted as an important medium, thanks to the work of artists such as Matthew Barney, Bruce Nauman, Bill Viola, and Gillian Wearing. In TASCHEN's "Basic Art" movement and genre series, each book includes a detailed introduction with approximately 30 photographs, plus a timeline of the most important events (political, cultural, scientific, sporting, etc.) that took place during the time period. The body of the book contains a selection of the most important works of the epoch; each is presented on a 2-page spread with a full-page image and, on the facing page, a description/interpretation of the work, a reference work, portrait of the artist, quotes, and biographical information.
