Question

which of the following revolutionized the video art scene?
a. the invention of the portable video camera
b. the invention of television
c. the invention of the video synthesizer

Explanation:

To determine which invention revolutionized the video art scene, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The invention of the portable video camera allowed artists to easily record, edit, and create video art independently, as they could now move the camera freely and work outside traditional studio/television production setups. This accessibility and flexibility greatly expanded video art creation.
• Option B: The invention of television was more about broadcast and consumer - facing content distribution, not specifically about empowering artists to create video art. It was a medium for broadcasting pre - made content rather than a tool for artistic creation at the hands of artists.
• Option C: While the video synthesizer had an impact on video art by allowing for manipulation of video signals, the portable video camera was more fundamental in revolutionizing the scene as it enabled the initial capture of video content in a portable and artist - friendly way. Without the ability to easily capture video (which the portable video camera provided), the use of a video synthesizer would be limited in terms of creating original video art.

Answer:

A. the invention of the portable video camera
