This is an introduction to a program guide for Video Primer, a series of five programs each focusing on a different theme. The programs ran between April 7, 2001 and March 24th 2002. This introduction talks about the growing relevence of video as a fine arts medium. In a museum setting, visitors still approach video with unease because of it's youthfullness as a fine-arts medium. Also discussed are the innovations of projecting video to cinematic proportions and the internet as a provider of wider viewership. The five themes of Video Primer are: the Medium, Television, Personal Stories, Masquerade and Language.
