<<the
videobeat idea, in this case refers to
various analytical approaches and theories of history and development of video
arts. videobeat equally
refers to the future and to the past. therefore, the video subject
matter will be approached from its very beginnings, when it appeared as a
technological discovery - the image signal and the use in military purposes,
and then it will be analyzed through a wider sociological, political and
artistic prism. the videobeat
explores
the transformation of the video from the instrument for accurate transmission
of certain events and situations all the way to the almost revolutionary
possibilities in the scope of the most diverse expressions and experiments.
video becomes the instrument for expression of emotions, imaginary realities,
and new perceptions. freed from rational and technological, it steps away from
the language of the feature film; the emphasis is put on freedom of
expression. during the last decades of the past century, picturesque and
poetical characteristic became the essence of the video>
<with
regards to the videobeat
subject matter, the intention is to define the status of video
arts today, especially in relation to other forms of visual expression and
media. one of the aims defined in this way is to answer frequent questions in
this field: is video art being transformed into a new form and how can we be
sure that the transformation isn't going in the opposite direction? what kind
of media is this about, which are the new ways? is video disappearing in the
age of pure digital forms? the most interesting question is whether the new
media and the whole digital visual production are nothing but logical steps in
the progress of video art
