Communication through videoart

This post will look at video art and its use in communication.

Art is in itself a medium communicating a message, as discussed in previous posts the interpretation of the communication is contextual to the medium and its perceived message.

Some examples of Video art that I feel have conveyed a message, whether my interpretation is the video makers intentional message who knows.

This video shows a communication but no context so its interpretation is random, this may be the intention.




This video is very digital in concept and style but has for me a sense of spaciousness and hypnoticness.




This video has used a similar idea to how I would like my film to be seen, it uses two curved screens with what seems to be two projectors. I would like to use one projector with a widescreen lens fitted. Alas that is not going to be possible just yet. It is a nice video, though the theme does not seem to be communication other than to communicate an artistic narrative.



This last video shows a range of expressions and allows the viewer to derive meaning and intent. It is by a deaf person and highlights communication needs and modes very well.
