NYU-TV Vimeo Showcase: How has Video Changed the World

We interact with video everyday–unconsciously and consciously. But, just how much has video changed, in meaning and medium, since its inception in the 1950s? Video distinguishes itself from other audiovisual media, like film, because of its democratic nature and malleable form. This enables video to be the perfect tool for protest, activism, and natural storytelling. From conversations with video artists, Walid Raad and Akram Zaatari to a celebration of Paper Tiger, join NYU-TV as we highlight the many uses of video—video as an art form, video as protest, video as storytelling, and video as an archive. This collection was inspired by and features some of the artists currently on display at the MOMA exhibit, Signals: How Video Changed the World.
