Australian video artist Peter Callas creates portraits of cultures from where he has lived, such as Australia, Papua New Guinea, Japan, Germany, Brazil, India, the US and Italy. He addresses multiculturalism and trans/cultural identity, as well as a retelling of history, or offering an alternative past.
VALIE EXPORT - performer, video artist, filmmaker, installation artist, photographer, sculptor and feminist - used video art (or as she termed it, 'expanded cinema') as a social mirror, reflecting back to society their own behaviours and reality.
Gary Hill, an American video artist, challenged the medium significantly, and incorporated text and spoken word with the moving image.
Bill Viola, perhaps one of the most recognised video artist, explores life, death, spirituality, and the unconscious, in his single channel and video installations.
We have started to see a shift away from video art being mainly a documentary tool for performance art, to becoming more of the experimental medium we see today.
