video art
Video art is the practice of rebranding playgrounds of cameras and editing software as serious art. Audiences furrow their brows in search of meaning amid fragments of footage, intoxicated by the moment when confusion transforms into beauty. Alternating noise and still frames, it elevates technical limitations to artistic mystique. Titles are often so abstract that one must hear the curator’s explanation to understand what’s happening. Ultimately, the insistence on a "profound meaning" serves as the chief strategy to legitimize random visuals in this mysterious art form.
