Video art is a type of art that uses moving pictures and audio, typically displayed through video installations or as standalone pieces. It gets its name from the original video tape medium. There are two primary types: single channel videos screened individually, and installations with multiple related video pieces screened simultaneously, sometimes combined with other art forms. Pioneering video artists in the 1960s like Andy Warhol and Nam June Paik began experimenting with early video equipment and helped establish it as an art form. Today, digital technology allows many more artists to create video artworks and installations with greater creative control and flexibility.
