Programme 4.
“Video art and mass visual culture”.

With the beginning of postmodern era the fine arts have ceased to be the sphere that defined the visual image of a culture. Mass production of various quality and multipurpose images, often aggressively introduced into the everyday surroundings of a human being made scholars change their view point on the problem of art production and articulate the new phenomenon as a field of culture studies defined as visual culture.
The process of communication language formation for the contemporary visual culture is mostly determined by technologies used in creation, reproduction and distribution of images. The first to notice their major role in changing artistic image ‘s function and status was Walter Benjamin in his article “The work of art in the era of mechanical reproduction” (1935) which later became a keynote for contemporary culture and art research. The gist of this transformation is: from creating a distanced reality image, to reproducing reality as such by the new techniques, a reproduction utterly convincing and thrilling the viewer by its intensity - for instance, on screen. The other important feature of this transformation is the easiness of reproduction, replication and mass distribution of visual products, which has made it accessible for all, so that the image as such has lost its value and became an object of economical and political manipulation.
