These articles are about video installation art and all that goes into that process and the difference between this and other mediums of art. The main parts of these articles discussing the question of why this installation video art is different. I found it interesting that in one of the articles video installation art was referred to as "most complex art form in contemporary culture". I could completely understand why that would be because there is so much that goes into it that most works of art only would use a fraction of what is done. Installation art and video installation art utilizes all interest of time, space and frame in addition to the video techniques used to create and edit the video component but with the installation aspect there is another piece all together that needs to be created to make the full piece functional and completed. There are multiple levels of exploration and experimentation that can happen in presentation and representation, one of which are the dimensions that are possibly used. With the elements in the video with the combination of the real life three dimensional elements, create extremely complex pieces which no other type of art can really express in the same way. These works of video installation art wouldn't be the same as just a video work because it is made as an entire piece with the installation complex. It also discusses in a large portion that as a viewer, seeing these video installation art works there is more of an experience rather than a viewing and analysis of the work. There are typically more pieces to consider with this installation aspect than when there isn't. These articles opened up a lot of discussion about what goes into the work of installation video works that I didn't know went into the work but now knowing it I can see and understand what was said because there is so much more involvement that some other types.
Is there a range of what is considered video installation art work? Does there have to be a limit or amount of what the installation includes for that to be what it is recognized as?
