Video Art from Germany A transmediale/VideoFest Retrospective These eleven works assembled in the screening programme give a survey of video art that has been produced in Germany and shown at the transmediale’s antecessor ‘VideoFest’ and at transmediale till the end of the 90's. On the one hand, this choice is determined by variety and documents different time-based video techniques. On the other hand, recurring formal styles such as the construction of rhythm, the unity of image and sound and repetitive elements define a characteristic artificial language which has not lost any of its expressive power over the years.
