video installations

Gallery moving images

Video installations are artworks that use video projection or screens as their primary medium, typically displayed in galleries or public spaces rather than viewed on personal devices.

Unlike conventional video meant for passive watching, installations often involve spatial arrangements, multiple screens, or interactive elements that make the viewer's physical presence part of the experience: The museum's east wing features immersive video installations.

The form emerged in the 1960s alongside video art but emphasizes environment and architecture over the recorded content alone.
