Art definitions are always a bit tricky because some people would define art from above, like, by style or by a supposed historical unity that contains a consistent body of production, while (I think more realistically) others would define art as whatever artists do, which is not very consistent and which increasingly tends to include styles and modes from any and all periods of history.
Which leaves us with thinking about art defined mainly through where it appears, how it’s used, and how it’s disseminated—so video art is what people look at in video art shows, and what people do who call themselves video artists.

Hello everybody, I've recently bought Matthew Barney's DVD "Cremaster 3" and saw many reviews claims that it's "video art". I know that Nam June Paik is always associated with this term and sometimes called "Father of Video Art", Some of Paiks' works are in strict film form (i.e. Zen Film) and some of them are like installation art (i.e. TV Garden, TV Cello), does both count as video art?
I'm quite confused with this term after looking up on Wikipedia, can anyone kindly introduce me this form of art?
Thanks!
Ryan
