This survey work offers the story of video art, from its beginnings in the late 1960s through its continuing transformation in the twenty-first century. Considering the inception of the medium and its broader implications as a field of practice, Barbara London considers such wide-ranging themes as narrativity, identity politics, globalism, and film’s futurity.
