Video Art. Strategies of Presentation and Mediation
University of the Arts, Bremen
As an art medium, video has transformed the perception of artistic practices since the late 1960s. Under the influence of new image technologies not only the formal aspects of presentation have changed, but also the conditions of reception have been affected by this radical transformation of representational modes. Video art has played a central role in international museums and survey exhibitions since the 1960s.
Beyond their temporary visibility in changing contexts of presentation however, video works are often insufficiently documented......
The programme addresses four main issues:
State of the Art: Original – Concept – Format – Reproduction
New Media Conditions: Intention – Reception
Closed Circuit: Distribution – Dissemination – Documentation
Open Source: Perspectives of Mediation
