Video Paint 1.0 is a computer program and video showcasing the software in action. The video features the artist explaining the procedures being applied by the program to his movements. He explains that he's invented a new form of painting, "but much, much better". He goes on to explain the many advantages of this new form of panting over conventional methods. The piece draws attention to the abstract and often ridiculous language used by both painters and many new media artists to describe their work, simultaneously addressing new media's inclination to recklessly "update" non-digital art forms and incorporate them into their practice. Video Paint 1.0 is a manifesto for responsible art making in a digital era and a damning condemnation of everything that surrounds it.
