Video Art/Performance: A Border Theory
Performing Arts Journal, Sept. 1991, v. 13, no. 3, pp. 54-84
The author analyzes video as a post-modern electronic medium which is free of modern traditions, techniques and genres. This pronouncement is used to study video's history, as well as its connections to other artistic media, especially performative art forms and sculpture. This essay also looks at the history of video with a speculation towards its future, and contains information on a vast variety of video art works.
