The work of Douglas Davis is discussed in this brief article in light of rapidly progressing video art - from video to anti-video. David Ross aknowledges that video art is now, in 1974, no longer new but an evolving medium that is directed at the manipulation of ideas, and the way in which Davis is manifesting different iterations in his work, coming to a point of anti-video. The medium goes beyond video and seeks to display and divulge the "dialectic of contemporary art and life". (60)
