Oursler’s works center on the interaction between media and the viewer-spectator, using video, performance, sculpture, and the space as a means of engagement. Tony Oursler played a major role in the evolution of video art over the last three decades, identifying the limitations of the television monitor as the primary framing device for video images, taking them out of the box and making them function in three-dimensions through his installations.
