This exhibition explores the ever-metamorphosing state of video art. Tracing back to the genesis of video art during the late 1960s and early 1970s, the videos selected for the exhibition serve as a survey of contemporary video art created in order to view the current state of video art since prominent artists such as Nam June Paik, Valie Export, Doris Totten Chase, Bill Viola, Maureen Connor, and Vito Acconci first pioneered the art form.
