Introducción. El videoarte, utopía colectiva e historias individuales
Abstract
Half a century of video. Long enough for oblivion to be installed. The big
strokes remain but fluctuate. It reinterprets willingly to justify this. The details about
them, they are gone forever. Nam June Paik, Gianni Toti, Jacques-Louis and Danièle Nyst,
Thierry Kuntzel, Juan Downey are already gone. However, the story is only relevant if it
relates to people and to the encounters between them. The theoretical approaches that try
to organize large movements or speculate about categories, are nothing if not rooted in
the land. That is why, in order to establish the facts, places, dates and all trace of those who
made these 50 years of video art, and therefore, to think from the video testimonials, I proposed to Jean-Paul Fargier, Don Foresta, Georges Faceless, Gustavo Kortsarz and Richard
Skryzak to write about this double issue: the video art as utopia and as individual stories.
The “I” and the “we” conjugates, in order to construct a “them” for the reader.
