Most of the time I averted my eyes not entirely sure I'd weather her scrutiny. Usually I squirmed, got defensive, felt misunderstood. That's basically what I had in mind for AT ARM'S LENGTH. It was an attempt to appraise video art, to understand how it fit into the bigger picture of culture and political economy. These essays could have been called trying-to-situate-video-art-in-the-realworld.

Art can be powerful, much more powerful than it is today, and as a society we badly need the spirit of empowerment and pluralism that underlies video art. That spirit should reach more people. Reaching people—the audience question—is a big problem for video. Years ago I asked an artist how he thought about his audience. "I don't", he answered.
