Video has specific graffic potential and creative synthesis of thinking ( cybernetic art) Video uses “electronic processed figuration”, namely hardware and software Creating transnational video consciousness, artist becomes ecologicaly responsible By semantic shifting existential supportings become obvious as overmastering the media, antropologicaly humanising the technology and generating a New Reality “NEW ECONOMY OF SEEING” (Marina Gržinić/Aina Šmid) Difference between TV and Video: Video art as “a new economy of seeing” • Jeremy Welsh: “Labyrinth”,1987
