Summary:

This is a book about video art, and about sound art. The sound of video in the 1960 created an unexpected disturbance of media. The relation between sound and visual elements meant that video became an intermedia, a multiple practice structuring s and perception through vision and sound. Since then, video art has changed institutional and material art contexts immeasurably, and it is the sound of video that makes it ever-present. Through close readings of the sound in works by many contemporary video artists, Paul Hegarty offers an entirely fresh perspective on the interactions between sound, sound art, and the visual.
