Talk:Conceptual video art

I don't understand the point of this page. Vertov could not be called a video artist. Video was not invented when he was alive. Most of the page deals with the history of experimental film. Video had some connections with this history but it very much became its own genre - its pioneers, Paik, Vostell etc. used TV - the actual video system and broadcast TV as their primary focus - not cinema. furthermore Barney and Maddin make experimental narrative film - I am not sure how they could be called conceptual video artists. I would have thought Nauman would be a better example.

I agree - this page should be deleted. The distinction between conceptual/"regular" work is vague at best (except in reference to a specific historical movement in which none of these artists participated). The Video Art page should cover all of this.

 * I considered merging to Video Art, but really there is nothing worth merging, so I am redirecting instead. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:57, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
