Many of the early prominent video artists were those involved with concurrent movements in conceptual art, performance, and experimental film. There were also those such as Steina and Woody Vasulka who were interested in the formal qualities of video and employed video synthesizers to create abstract works.
Much video art in the medium's heyday experimented formally with the limitations of the video format. For example, American artist Peter Campus ' Double Vision combined the video signals from two Sony Portapaks through an electronic mixer, resulting in a distorted and radically dissonant image.
Another representative piece, Joan Jonas ' Vertical Roll , involved recording previously-recorded material of Jonas dancing while playing the videos back on a television, resulting in a layered and complex representation of mediation.

Much video art in America was produced out of New York City, with The Kitchen , founded in by Steina and Woody Vasulka and assisted by video director Dimitri Devyatkin and Shridhar Bapat , serving as a nexus for many young artists. An early multi-channel video art work using several monitors or screens was Wipe Cycle by Ira Schneider and Frank Gillette.

In Europe, Valie Export 's groundbreaking video piece, "Facing a Family" was one of the first instances of television intervention and broadcasting video art. The video, originally broadcast on the Austrian television program "Kontakte" February 2, ,[11] shows a bourgeois Austrian family watching TV while eating dinner, creating a mirroring effect for many members of the audience who were doing the same thing.
Export believed the television could complicate the relationship between subject, spectator, and television. As the prices of editing software decreased, the access the general public had to utilize these technologies increased. Video editing software became so readily available that it changed the way digital media artists and video artists interacted with the mediums.
Different themes emerged and were explored in the artists work, such as interactivity and nonlinearity.
Criticisms of the editing software focused on the freedom that was created for the artists through the technology, but not for the audience. Some artists combined physical and digital techniques to allow their audience to physically explore the digital work.
An example of this is Jeffrey Shaw's "Legible City" — In this piece the "audience" rides a stationary bicycle through a virtual images of Manhattan, Amsterdam, and Karlsrule. The images change depending on the direction of the bike handles, and the speed of the pedaler. This created a unique virtual experience for every participant.
As technology and editing techniques have evolved since the emergence of video as an art form, artists have been able to experiment more with video art without using any of their own content. Marco Brambilla 's "Civilization" shows this technique. While the physical feel of books are really enjoyable, it is not possible to carry them with yourself always.
