Video

Video art is not to be confused with film. The most interesting forms of video art, or at least the most grand is video mapping. The use of projection or built in lighting is essential for this to work. The Icebox for example is a surprisingly simple, yet fascinating idea of telling a story. It appears to utilize a lot of what projections already do, a background. However, with the cut out paper backgrounds and the person who has to manually turn the pages in the right order it gives it a story book feel. Other video art pieces like Branchage make use of large scale projections onto a building in order to give it a 3-dimensional life that a normal static building can never achieve.
