Artpress Publishes Third Volume of Video Art Interviews

publication · 2026-04-23

Artpress has released 'L'art vidéo 3. Redéfinitions contemporaines,' the final volume in a trilogy of interviews tracing the history of video art through the magazine. The book compiles conversations conducted during the 2010s, featuring artists like Hito Steyerl, who asks, 'How do we see?' The interviews document ongoing transformations in video art, which remains a critical tool for examining past and present. However, operational modes, uses, and goals are diverse, challenging hierarchies between image and sound. Video, now integrated into media art or 'new media,' paradoxically questions the hegemony of the visual.
