Abstract

This paper outlines a reflection on video as a medium of artistic expression and its confines in the audiovisual image field.

For such purpose, we analyse its evolution, especially since the late 20th century, and its relation with other media art practices. In fact, we focus on the ontology of the image, be it filmic or videographic, trying to propose a territorial exploration in the domains of the audiovisual image, considering the implication of technological advances that leverage the aesthetic, conceptual and representational fields.

The aim is to understand the existence of interdisciplinary and intercultural convergences in the contexts of media art practices. We focus on the possible distinctions between the media of video, television and cinema, mainly on the intersection of the confines of the "media art", "visual culture", or "digital media image" genre classification and the expansion of their thematic spectrum. This work highlights some ideas in which video and television share the ontology of the image and examines how aesthetic, technical and cultural implications have been relevant to the outcome of some works and their visual interpretation. This way, the opposition between synthetic production and aesthetic material is articulated. By selecting some artists, this study seeks to explore the possibility of new artistic forms contributing to the configuration of the interactive image and its role in the evolution of the audiovisual.
