Abstract and Keywords
This chapter explores the differences between immersive and reactive audiovisual art. The work of video artists Tony Oursler, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Bill Viola, Pipilotti Rist, and Camille Utterback and musicians John Cage, Brian Eno, and Björk is used to identify the ways in which video, as a medium, can press at the one-way flow of communication that often governs the performance of music and the consumption of visual art. Video technology can give visitors a hands-on, creative role in forging audio artwork, replacing the autonomy of an artist or composer with the spontaneous possibilities of audience-controlled process art. Moving from early interactive video environments to recent pieces that make use of touch-screen interfaces, this chapter charts a progression from communal audiovisual participation to the more interiorized experiences that characterize many contemporary video works.
Keywords: video art, intermediality, spatial merging, installation art, happenings, audiovisual, reactive, immersion, process, space
Holly Rogers is senior lecturer in Music at the University of Liverpool and a Fulbright Scholar at the Cinema Department of San Francisco State University. She has published on a variety of audiovisual topics including music and experimental cinema, visual music and composer biopics. Recent research fellowships at University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin enabled her to complete her monograph Sounding the Gallery: Video and the Rise of Art-Music (OUP), in which she argues that video is as much a musical genre as it is a visual one. Holly is currently investigating the interactions between sound and art in the galleries of San Francisco as part of a larger project on video intermediality.
