Tiivistelmä

The book offers a broad survey of developments in Nordic Countries video art since the 60′s until nowadays and the poetics developed by artists. Particular attention has given to artists who have worked since the 90s until the most recent generation. The book is divided into two parts: an essay that investigates the early video experiments of the 60s and 80s in the five Nordic Countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden) and then goes to the “Nordic Miracle” in the 90s and up to nowadays, describing the issues, trends and work of the artists. The second part consists of a series of biographical profiles illustrating the works and ideas of the individual artists that makes this book a survey not only of video art but also of recent artistic developments in the Nordic countries in the broader sense.
