Video Art as Experimental Type of Artistic Practice of Contemporary Art

Abstract

The article examines one of the most dynamically developing trends in contemporary art – video art, which evolving as screen art, inherited the language of cinema and television. Actively using and creating various kinds of manipulations, originally invented by the founders of cinema, video art makes a number of researchers to see in its conceptual basis the phenomenon of the impossibility of a clear classification, which results in the absence of established terminology for today. The most expressive artistic practices (according to the authors) used in the creation of video works, such as, slowing down, framing, referring to classical subjects, etc., are considered. An attempt has been made to describe the main problems of works of new visuality, which clearly manifested the strategy of their development at the end of the 20th century, and today demonstrate their multidimensional redundancy. The rapid development of technology has made new tools and techniques used in creating video work available for the artistic world; it has significantly changed not only the technology and aesthetics of video, but also the psychology of perception. Over time, thanks to the digital format, video art has gained the ability to undergo various forms of transformation in search of unprecedented visual experiences. The emerging role of the media artist as an analyst of reality in the modern world has become an obvious consequence of the use of the digital format and a wide range of media technologies when creating works. Video art, continuously transforming, progressing and revising traditional schemes used in screen art, has become entrenched in the artistic consciousness as a full-fledged means of exploring and visualizing various current aspects.
