Direct naar zijbalk
With the rise of consumer video, artists started to reflect on the medium of television. A large area of video art is taken up by critical deconstruction and ideological commentary on the most powerful of mass media. For the present generation of artists, television is no longer an enemy, rather a self-evident reference. And, above all, a source of inspiration. From a cheerful distortion of what can be a test card to a bizarre variation on animations for children’s television, and from an extreme compression of dozens of satellite signals to artists who live and work in a blue key studio. This exhibition comprises just as many visions and appreciations of the medium as there are works of art. (EC)
