Theorist Jean-Paul Fargier has proposed that the most essential element of video art is its ‘live’ component: an uninterrupted, direct recording signal that can be retained or deformed in real time. Israeli-British artist Dov Eylath, active in the early 1980s, illustrates this approach in his mock-disco dance parody using electronic multiplication of images within the screen, performed to a live playback of satirical music.
