How has video changes the world? How has it changed art? How has it changed the way we watch films and television? Do people consume pre-recorded video cassettes and DVD's like they consume music, are they marketed in this way even.
And that art thing. What do you think of video art?

How has video changes the world?
it has enriched our lives in terms of information-sharing/eudcation and entertainment no end as it had provided means to record and archive memorable material
How has it changed art?
more income due to inception of home video market, provided a more practical/convenient way to create, exhibit and distribute linear pieces i.e. films.
How has it changed the way we watch films and television?
once the video market exploded, people tended to adopt a more casual approach to cinema-going - 'i think i'll wait for the video' inebbriated itself for example.
Do people consume pre-recorded video cassettes and DVD's like they consume music, are they marketed in this way even.
i don't think they do by and large although there are of course many people out there with burdgeoning video collections to rival their music ones.
What do you think of video art?
some good, some bad, some ugly

Video Art thread that no-one really did much with)

Video radically reduces the number of people required to make temporal visual art, thus freeing up some of the dodgy concepts of authorship that come with cinema. But is the means of display a problem within itself.

I've recently been distributing videos of autistic children to Primary Ed students - I guess video has changed teaching considerably.
It has also helped the English Lit teacher because now you can draw the curtains and put on the film of whatever's on the syllabus rather than spending 45 minutes listening to reluctant kids reading a paragraph each round the room to make sure they at least know the story before they sit the exam.

the physical format of video is rubbish and digital technology has improved things a little with regards to quality preservation, speed of access and indeed audiovisual quality

I like some video art. Which is a good thing, as I may be making it this time next year.

i watched a whole caboodle of video art last Sunday at the NFT (Resfest) - a mixed bag really but most of it was concerned with designed forms and space and the relationships between, soundtracked invariably by the Warp roster. i rate French outfit Pleix for the stuff they do.
