Scenes, and Show

Well I get it video art is a contradiction too. It seems that whenever you go deep into something
you find out all types of things that just makes you know that it depends on the message, and the person putting that message out there. I already knew about programs like the Colgate Comedy Hour or something like that, Jimmy Durante hosted, and how alot major companies sponsored a whole network and shows as well as one-time Chicago Based Ovaltine, and also how the video tapes make up a whole tv networks line-up of their shows, or "Live" shows that were recorded a week before. Some programs over the years especially if they are recorded on an english station will be shown the following week as brand new on a non-english station in their langauge from people also involved in that show, The main version will show the english commentators on the main network and they will say pre-recorded on the other network and then for the commentators also there, it will instead be played in their langauge even though the program is the same as The WWE is infamous for. Video Art has also been used to manipulate feelings of the viewers as they are watching footage pre-recorded but may have been from that century or in the "real time" meaning recently. As of now there is a another resurgence of classic tv that networks are digging back into the archives and making total networks based off the shows that were pre-recorded 40+ years ago, and as recent as 25 years ago, it's good to a certain degree", all recorded, and presented as brand new despite that the shows are old. But the network also shows advertisements on these retro-networks that are nostalgic from the programs being shown, or it's an station based off Old Tv shows, but they show new or present-day commercials that's the only thing that is different.

But again it depends on the person that is using video to tell a story or there story, and that it is
done in a manner that challenges the audience, or a tleast entertains them. The Fluxest films may have done both, or documentaries on what people are interested in respectfully. And some Tv Networks to rewind the clocks back of showing TV shows, Movies, Cartoons etc. Myself I still have alot of Videotapes for entertainment, and to tell a story to let people know such as of cartoons how it was back then, or vice versa, or to introduce/expose them to something. It's hardly an art but the way I view it or expose it can be seen as an art.

Video Art can accomplish that, But those who concentrate on the "Real" and the"Live" too much forget that mostly everything we see on tv, as well as video, and also DVD and Blue-Ray is pre-recorded media from the past to be introduced in the present. So is Video Art a way to relive our past to bring into the future? or a way to challenge the future? I record video tapes with good programs to get away from all the madness that is on TV from the present networks and shows. But from this day and age I will record something I like to watch, enjoy, explore, educate, expose, and tell a story. Not a contradiction, It's just what I would do with it. Video Art is just another form of expression. I choose to express my Video's in art wisely, No advertisers.
