Why read it?

1 author picked A History of Video Art as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

A meticulously researched and detailed historical and critical account of Video Art from the 1960s onwards. Meigh-Andrews’ study rightly focuses not least on technology - cameras, analogue tape, editing systems, synthesisers, etc, given the high impact that continuously evolving technological developments have had in opening up new aesthetic possibilities for artists working with moving images.

From Nicky's list on artists’ film and video.
