Overview

Video art dominates the international art world to such an extent that its heady days on the radical fringes are sometimes overlooked - often unknown. 'Video Art, a Guided Tour' is an essential and highly entertaining guide to video art and its history. Elwes, herself a practicing artist and pioneer of early video, traces the story from the weighty Portapak equipment of the 60's and 70's to today s digital technology, from early experiments in real time to the new narrative movement of the 80's.
