Experimental video art : on the borders between theory and practice

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to explore the new image and thought in reference to philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. Thus, his discussions on art and cinema are studied thoroughly. The revelation of affects, percepts and sensations in art constitutes the important amount of this thesis. In reference to that the revelation of movementimage and time-image in cinema explored, in order to understand the identity of the image in different art forms. Finally in the light of these explorations on image, experimental video art is discussed in individual works, in the hope of discovering borders between theory and practice aside the discovery of the possibilities this new image can offer to thought. These discussions on cinema and experimental video art enlighten not only concepts of cinema and video, but also alter their relation with other practices and theories.
