The Dimension Of Overstepping

Video art has been pushing the boundaries of images since 1960s,constantly subverting the conventional way of cinematic narrative.A film is not able to include the narratives outside its screen due to its confinement to one single screen while video art concentrate on exploring all the possibilities of images.It's difficult for the cinematic projecting to apply to the flexible and variable space of galleries and impatient audiences.Hence,video art can barely be confined to a 'frame' where images simulate the dimensions of reality.Rather,it should jump out of the "frame",breaking the layout of convention narrative,seeking for more dimensions and possibilities of wider narrative.And this is where video art is independent of the conventional narrative film and its value lies.
