Response to Origins of Video Art

What stuck out most to me while reading this article was how universal video art has become as technology has advanced. When video recording equipment first came out it was very bulky and expensive This left the video recording to only broadcasters, large corporations, and institutions. As technology has advanced since then video recording equipment has become more lightweight and the actual recording is crisp. You can now find people recording on handheld digital cameras and cell phones. Something that is so commonplace to us now would shock older generations who got a taste of video. Back then you would have to pick a setting, set up, and then shoot, which is still used now in television and movies but is much easier with the new and advanced equipment, but nowadays basically anybody with a cellphone who comes across something that they want to record can do so in a matter of seconds and a click of a button. There are also ways that people can record what they want with filters and special effects on their cellphone. An example of this would be the app where you can film something with your phone and have the ability to use action movie effects on that particular subject.
