Video and the Conceptual Long List of Names

     There isn't much to say about this particular reading. It does a good job of defining performance as an art form and as a central theme of a lot of video art. It also does a good job of listing a very large amount of artists and some of their work. These artists were mostly known for using performance in artistic video. There were a lot of artists to take in and I would have to go through the reading a few more times, slowly and with breaks, to fully grasp each artist the article lists, a daunting task. Overall, it is safe to assume I got the point that performance, and the body, is crucial to not only video art, but in all new medias.
