video artist

Moving image creator

A video artist is someone who creates art using video as their primary medium.

The term emerged in the 1960s and 70s as artists began working with television monitors, projections, and recorded footage as expressive tools rather than documentary ones.

Video art often appears in galleries and museums as installations: The video artist's work filled three rooms with synchronized projections.
