Artists by Medium · Part 17 of 20
Video became a distinct artistic medium when portable recording let artists work outside cinema and broadcast conventions. MoMA's history of the medium follows that shift from tapes and monitors to closed-circuit systems, projections, social networks, and room-scale moving-image installations.
These 30 artists approach the moving image through single-channel works, experimental documentary, performance, animation, and installation. The linked sources prioritize artist-controlled work pages and institutional exhibition records; stills and embedded players document the works but do not automatically grant republication rights.
Rights note: each featured work or portfolio sample is presented as a link only. No contemporary artwork or documentary photograph is reproduced.
