Against Immediacy is a history of early video art considered in
relation to television in the United States during the 1960s and
1970s. It examines how artists questioned the ways in which "the
people" were ideologically figured by the commercial mass media.
During this time, artists and organizations including Nam June
Paik, Juan Downey, and the Women's Video News Service challenged
the existing limits of the one-to-many model of televisual
broadcasting while simultaneously constructing more democratic,
bottom-up models in which the people mediated themselves. Operating
at the intersection between art history and media studies, Against
Immediacy connects early video art and the rise of the media screen
in gallery-based art to discussions about participation and the
activation of the spectator in art and electronic media, moving
from video art as an early form of democratic media practice to its
canonization as a form of high art.
