Week 8: The Moving Image: Video as Digital Art

Throughout this week the focus on Video as Digital Art was soemthing that we looked at. This was interesting and mind blowing in the way that anything is possible. I learnt so much just from the people in my class that i thought was a amazing. The presentations that were completed throughout this class showed such a substantial amount of work and such experience that it was thereatening for my own work because i loved what i had saw. I learnt how using the video camera could allow for soem great work to come about.

Overall video art is a type of art which relies on moving pictures and comprises video and audio art. Video art came into existence during 1960's and 1970's and is still widely practiced and has given rise to the widespread use of videpo installations. Looking and soem of the short videos that we saw in class it was amazing to see what kind of art can be created and the messages that could come out of the art. Although it continues to bhe produced, it is represented by two varieties. Single-channel and installations. Single-channel works much closer to the conventional idea of television: a video is screened, projected or shown as a asingle image.

Installation works involve either an environment, several distinct pieces of video presentation separartely, or any combination of video with traditional media. Inastallation video is the most common form of art used today. Sometimes it is combined with other media.

Throughout learning and exploring this type of art i came across a piece of art called self burning. It was a short video experimenting mystical form transformation in absolutely oridinary surroundings of the typical Russian countryside. Also it is a video research of the word "field". Comprehension and the look at agriculture or geography, but also like electric. Self bruning is a union of the two persons. Nikolas Luchkic and Alexsandar Shpakor. Mikolas was born in Karagend, USSK in 1979. Aleksandar was born in Semikarakosah in 1978. They meet 1998 when they started their study and creating there video artworks. When looking at the short piece it was amazing in the way that it showed just a complete different thing to the title self burning and colour and textures that were used in the short movie. i couldn't upload it but it was found on video.art.net. I enjoying viewing the video and found the class interesting in terms of ideas, the presentations and how great my classmates are and just learning something that in wouldn't of got the chance to learn.
