The most comprehensive survey of video and moving-image art today.

Vitamin V is the first volume in Phaidon’s celebrated Vitamin series to focus exclusively on the moving image in contemporary art. Featuring more than 850 images and profiling over 100 artists from pioneers to emerging voices this richly illustrated book offers an unprecedented look at how artists are reshaping visual culture through video, animation, CGI, and interactive media.

Each featured artist was selected by an international panel of curators and critics, ensuring a truly global and diverse representation of practices. The book also includes a major essay by Erika Balsom, a leading scholar in media art, charting the evolution of video art from the 1960s to the present.

A vital resource for artists, curators, educators, and anyone interested in the intersection of art and technology.
