What is “Time-Based Media”? - artwork with a specific duration - art experience over a specific period of time - may include slides, video, film, live audio, digital media
Typical examples of this category are video and sound artworks, film or slide-based installations, software-based art and other forms of technology-based artworks, many of which can also be regarded as installation art. The Guggenheim collection contains several hundred time-based media artworks, including works by Marina Abramovic, Matthew Barney, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, Jason Rhoades, and many other important contemporary artists.
Usually time-based media are video, slide, film, audio or computer based. Part of what it means to experience the art is to watch it unfold over time according to the temporal logic of the medium as it is played back.
Early examples of time-based media date back to the 1960s, in particular the art of Bruce Nauman, who would record happenings to be played back in the gallery. HisPerformance Corridor, made in 1968, was a recording of a performance in which people edged their way down a dark narrow tunnel. Since Nauman’s early explorations, artists have also experimented with the elasticity of the medium in order to stretch time and space. In 1993 Douglas Gordon slowed down Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho for twenty-four hours.
