Just as photography was an exciting new medium in the mid-nineteenth century, video was a new medium available to individual artists for the first time in the 1960s. Since then, artists have harnessed the flexibility of video to express the ideas of a new millennium brimming with technology. Many museums, including the Albright-Knox, are now vigorously collecting and exhibiting works in video and other new media.
