Video art has grown to become a significant subject in film and media art since its emergence in the United States and Europe during the 1960s and 1970s. This form of art includes a variety of moving images, videos, and audio that express the creator's experience or emotions. In Germany, video art has not only gained popularity but has also become an integral part of contemporary artistic expression.
