Remediation: Performance Art and Video Performance

Much of the most compelling art of the last 35 years has been ephemeral performance and video. Screen cultures represent new means of display and distribution and are being used widely by artists to reach audiences beyond the museum. The concept of remediation (where one medium is re-made in another) is at the heart of this research which analyses the ways in which performance art is represented on video. This research is original: no major study of this work exists. Outcomes include a scholarly monograph and a comprehensive website.
