The life and work of pioneers of video art, Steina and Woody Vasulka. Their history with video dates back to the late 60s when they lived and worked in New York. Once called the “grandparents of the YouTube generation”, or “grandparents of video art”, they seem forgotten by the art world. With humour and serenity, they are struggling with finances and how to leave their media archives to the world. We start to understand the major impact video had on art and society from the 60s until now, a period referred to as the second renaissance, where media art contributed to the decentralization of art and corporate media. With only a handful of allies we see Vasulkas being rediscovered by art collectors and museums.
