  • Early Video Art: A look at a Controversial History from Diverse Practices: A Critical Reader on British Video Art , edited by Julia Knight Bibliography

    David Hall critiques early British video art historiography, arguing that later accounts have oversimplified and misrepresented the aims of the earliest practitioners; he emphasises their engagement with television technology, conceptualist aims, minimal broadcaster support and cautious funding bodies, and their pursuit of broader cultural audiences rather than gallery assimilation. Published in Diverse Practices: A Critical Reader on British Video Art, ed. Julia Knight, Arts Council of England and John Libbey, 1996, the essay is based on Before the Concrete Sets (first published in And: Journal of Art, No 26, 1991) and the London Video Access distribution catalogue, 1991, and cites Ross (1973), Marshall (1985) and Hall's own 1975–76 writings.
