Market appeal of video art
 

Good afternoon, everybody!

Gentlemen, after a visit to the Venice Biennale, I was left impressed by the number of video art in the halls. The situation looks as if the lack of projector in the pavilion is like a sign of bad taste or a dense retardation. Number of times a roller at the Biennale has exceeded the number of films viewed by me in the cinema over the past approximately 5 years, and of course reviewing all these moments, I had a desire to understand all this better. I hope there are members on the forum with expertise on the topic and willing to participate in the discussion.

Phenomenon and the essence of video art is really interested in me, of course, unfortunately, the forum is only 2 threads about this Video Art (X Media Forum) and A few words of Pablo Almodovar and video-art, but more all I'm interested in the technical and practical issues related to video art.

Let's start with the primary market. I have a huge desire to organize a project with video. As I understand there are 2 ways to present this video to a projector or monitor. Ie video on the disc, the question arises whether this is a simple disc (dvd) or a blyurey, or what?

How do you sell? Sale of the disk? Should there be a copy protection? How many copies are there? In general, how much production beginners video artists? Is there a secondary market?

as far as we know, video (movies ) are usually sold on a hard drive instead of optical media. The story goes that someone is selling a solution immediately with plasma. As such, collecting dust on a shelf just will not . We sell a few video galleries , XL exactly Regina is likely. Planned material on this topic.

That is, there are video films in a single copy or a still Draw products ?

Both galleries were closed when I visited the winery during the summer :confused:>

Most of all - a small circulation.
But we must understand that this is all very relative.
Digital copies are no different.

Vladimir, thanks, something began to dawn .

Now I have all the same question at the price, what should it be , if sold together with the plasma ? And if the plasma is out of service after 3 months ( and the disc was burned ) , then what? Where does the issue of technical safeguards between seller and buyer ?

Another such moment: if the video is sold on the hard drive , then you can copy it , and for example a tricky customer , may have to return to the gallery next to the attempt to return the money , bringing the disc back and came up with some bullshit.

There was a lecture researcher of Russian video art Dzheuzy Antonio (very passionate man ) and he said that circulation of videos of Anna Ermolaeva , Sergey Bratkov , Blue soup, Victor Alimpiev and others fly to the international fairs like hot cakes. In Alimpiev the way, today in Regina Exhibition opens. I'll go - asked around .

This is a picayune technical issue . You can buy another plasma , and video - to recover from the author's copy . Sharks under warranty mend , and there is some plasma .

Vladimir, Ooh, it would be great! :)>
Well, the shark there another price order.
So I too have heard about as well, but there were other names. And yet what the order of prices: for starters, on the average levels of fame and masters?

If anyone is wondering, the most interesting video work was presented at the Pavilion of Japan, there were some spets.effekty when the video was projected not only on the wall, but move smoothly to the floor and it was without bounds, and after a time it became unclear whether you go on the wall, or on the floor and this caused strong emotions.

In the Russian pavilion was also zalchik from video, and stood at the entrance and computers, where it was opened to the YouTube video by the same authors, which were projected in the courtroom.

So what? Many authors can see video in youtube - no special problems . Buyer is important not only exclusive content, and that its work will participate in the fairs ( with an indication that the collection of such and such will be included in the book ...), etc.

All this is somehow questionable. It's like buy a DVD for $ 20 000 with a film that you can buy anywhere for 150-500 rubles. and then download from the network. So what? Strongly it will be easier from the fact that someone somewhere will say " From the Collection of ...."?

The difference is huge. You would not give a reproduction of the original ? Or wear a Chinese - replica watches like Omega. While all seems . So here the owner has an inner sense that he has first-rate material. Proud of it, shows your friends. Suppose someone thinks eccentricity , but it is an occasion to explain the position to tell you why now buy the video. And then, it can also one day sell as the original thing .
