Video Art Spatial And Temporal Logic

Video Art is a imagewise production by visual artists, Based on the character of time-based media, from the point of view of time, we can divide the video art in two phases: the real time in forepart and the non-linear time in the second phrase. By the key of space-time logic with nonlinear character, this paper will put the theme on the digital charactered video art in the second phrase, and analyze the aesthetic character, narrative capability and the variety of feeling in this art media from the non-linear edition in single frequency video which comes from the film-making to the multi-space-time experience in video installation. This paper will discuss the space-time relationship in video art by the method of narrative analysis from literature and the method of exemplification, it will conclude with such space-time logic relationships: indivisibility and trans-seeping, panoramic simultaneity, juxtaposition of different time, temporality. Enumerating these relationships, we will lead readers to concern about the non-linearly narrative characters, including cyber space, material space and inner space involving with each other, which has its own specific time axes, therefore both space and time bears the different and multiplex quality .Time is no longer continuous, linear and apodictic, and its contradiction, disjunction and multidirectionality enlarges the narrative capability, enriches the subjective art experiment, and make us think about the meaning of productions. By the postmodernist theory of deconstruction, the paper, based on the space-time characters, analyses the openness, uncertainty and multipolarization of video art from the aspect of experience.
