Time as Medium

This article explores a brief history about the use of video and time as a medium for art. I liked the concept of video recording what is seen on television and distorting in various ways, such as using a magnet to warp the images. Bruce Nauman's Corridor Installation is quite fascinating to me. The idea that you can't simultaneously view yourself on the screen is intelligent and must have been frustrating for the viewers. As I kept reading, I realized that most of the video's written about used some form of reflection, either through, mirrors, televisions. They also relied a lot on space for their projects to be successful. I think these two concepts are especially important. They are very thought provoking to the self and personal issues.
