On the 20th November I’ll be running a workshop on the use of video as art, asking the question What is Video Art? The workshop will cover practical explorations into the history of artist moving-image from the methodologies of 1920’s abstract film, underground avant-garde cinema of the 1960’s, through to present day as video art has developed into a recognised artistic medium.
We will do this through my practice of using mobile phone cameras to produce artworks through the formal qualities of the video image. Here we will discuss how the video image is made, and how understanding its process allows for new poetics of image and construct. Using your own camera, or ones supplied by the V&A, we will make a series of new works through methodologies you can take into your own practice.
