Cultural Logic of Video

Performance, Video and Trouble in the Home

I was interested off the bat with this article in its reference to the Honeymooners and calling that in a weird way performance art; since a lot of articles and high-minded art folk seem to look down upon popular culture, it was refreshing to hear a new take on the matter. A lot of television and films that depict archetype characters like traditional husband and wife, teenagers, work-a-day Joes, these types of everyday people are creating these personalities that mirror people we know of, so in a way even the largest big-budget film has roots within performance art.
