"Glitch Telemetry" by Maria Niro

VIDEO ART is an ongoing series on this blog that highlights notable contributions to this interesting and always fascinating film/video movement.

Maria Niro has definitely surfaced as a leader in the video art scene. Her official site (www.marianiro.com) is full of great content. Check out her work titled "Glitch Telemetry" below.

I especially like the multiple frames within the frame, something I flirted with in a music video I directed earlier this year.

"Video Art" by Marcus Curtis

VIDEO ART will be an ongoing series on this blog that will highlight notable contributions to this interesting and always fascinating film/video movement.

Easily mistaken for nightclub wall material, a video like "Video Art" by Marcus Curtis on Vimeo can go by without its rightful praise. That praise should be aimed directly at the first 1:07 of this piece. The rest of the video is fine, but Curtis does something sublime with the Monroe footage at the beginning. He gets us smiling--not wincing, which a lot of video art can inflict on the viewer.

Stay tuned, as I work on my own video art piece "Makeshift Correct." You can become a fan of it in the meantime on Facebook.
