The current state of video art is addressed as well as predictions for its future. Ross indicates that it is impossible to identify any solid genres in video, as it is fast growing and museums and galleries are constantly supporting experiment. He notes that although early work privileged the parallels between "televideo" (22) and cinema, TV is no longer a substitute for the movie screen but is defining itself by its portability. Ross questions where the best venue for these new experiments in television will be exhibited, whether in public broadcast or cable. He identifies two major streams in video art: tapes with performers or event as subject and videos where tape itself is the subject, where the fascination with simultaneous playback and the instantaneity of video is the unifying concept.
