Video As Personal Expression
Video Guide, 1986, v. 8, no. 1, p. 8
Jamirte Trott composes an essay linking video as personal expression, to video as art in "Video As Personal Expression". However, Trott does not imply that art is necessarily "personal", as most often, it does not refer to the artist, and when it does, it maintains a certain degree of critical distance. Trott writes that the "personal expression" in video as art "refers to the kind of video bearing a 'personal' vision — be it historical, political, social, or any other context — composed within the artist's imagination and insight, thus creating a space for one or many dialogues between itself and the viewer."
