New Media in Art, 93-103

This section of the reading included explanations and examples of video art that employed the use of computerized elements. There is some level of digital effect or digital image created for the final version of the video art. I thought that Videospace, by Robert Zagone was pretty interesting because he took images on a television that seem familiar enough and he altered them by using television feedback techniques. So for anyone that saw them, they would see that a seemingly average video clip would become distorted and strange-looking, sometimes unrecognizable. The idea of taking something that is familiar and known to many people and turning it into something that is out of the oridinary (especially for the time) is really interesting. Pushing the boundaries of what is known to people is and I think always will be an interesting technique for artists, especially when working with any type of digital art.
