Life Feed: Webcams, Art, and People
The introduction of the webcam to everyday
life has had quite an impact on everyday life in addition to video art. This
article address video as a means of expression and how it can be deeper than
just images on a screen. The videos and pieces discussed in the article all
share a commonality in the fact that they ask the viewer to think about what
they are experiencing in a different way than they have before. Video art is
discussed as an ever changing and evolving art for in which there are no
limits. The art of the past as exemplified in Jennifer Ringley’s JenniCam is
vastly different from the art of Jeremy Bailey and his thought-controlled
computational art, yet this articles concludes that they are both attempting to
represent “the self” and generate a true human interaction.
