Olivia Rice 4 Questions
How has video feedback technology been used by some video artists? Bill Viola and Nam June Paik do massive installations, the former focuses on making people reflect on videos that tend to focus on water and the latter works with juxtaposing televisions and other technology with his videos.
What is the relationship between video art and technological advancement?
What were action artists and how have they contributed to video art?
How did the mood of 'social renewal' in the 1960s influence video art?
The mood of social renewal in the 1960s inspired video artists to take an instrumental and idealistic approach to their work. They made these changes with the intention of challenging the traditional structure of television, just as society was challenging all traditional norms.

1) Where does the word "Decollage" comes from? (p.3)

3) How does video differs from its two closest relatives: film and television? (p.1)

Where do video artist get their inspiration from? Past experiences or daily encounters we come across can inspire the way we shoot and the way we view the world.
How do we determine what exactly video art is? It is based on one's own interpretation of what they view as art and the way we can incorporate this art into a video.

Where did video art originate from? In the 1960s, Dick Higgins, George Maciunas, Nam June Pail, and Wolf Vostell, contributed their work to the birth of video art.
