Abstract:

In the late 1990s, South Korea used the words “new generation, new media, new sensibility” to describe video art, and conducted research with these concepts as the core. Those modifiers were different in the early and mid-1990s, with “technology” often used in the early and middle stages, and “video culture” in the later stage. In the video art scene in the early and mid-1990s, video sculptures or installations accounted for the majority. Taking images as part of sculptures or installations was the mainstream practice, and also formed the mainstream idea of “the encountering of new technology and art”. On the contrary, in the late 1990s, there were creations that regarded images as independent media, rather than as part of the object. Video works in the second half of the 1990s were understood as “a new generation of video culture”.

Key words: Korean video art, 1990s, technology, video culture
