Nam June Paik creates video art that addressed the latest technology of the year it was created. He was known as the "father of video art". He gained some of his inspiration from composer John Cage (who used everyday objects and sounds to create music). Similarly, Paik used televisions and video cameras. He is most famous for his use of the term "electronic super highway" which many say was foreshadowing for the modern day internet.

Jack Stauber
Jack Stauber is a multi-media video artist/muscian living is Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Deliberately smashing together all forms of animation with a good smear of MS Paint, Stauber designs nonsensical, heavily layered videos. Often the videos are paired with music he’s written that reflects the same type of absurdism, creating emotional jingles meant to be carried and put on replay.

Raul Zaritsky, Jamie Fenton, and Dick Ainsworth
These three artists created the now classic glitch video "Digital TV Dinner" (1978) that used the Bally video game console system.
The video was made by striking the $300 Bally video game console with a fist or fingers while it is trying to write the menu and recording the results.
Check out the video below. It’s truly a classic piece of Glitch Art.
Michael Betancourt
In Betancourt's hands, data moshing becomes a form of cultural resistance. Instead of utilizing the smooth, illusionistic motion of digital cinema, which you would typically see in a commercial movie theater, he deliberately pulls apart the codes and exploits its errors to deconstruct the movies and show us how they do their tricks. He pulls apart the narrative tropes of Sci-Fi at the same time that he pulls apart the pictures, pixel by pixel, creating a radically open form that resists the hypnotic myth-making of Hollywood

Billy Eichner is a comedian and game show host of billy on the street. During the show, billy would go around New York City and walk up to random people and ask them questions about pop culture. Some episodes would entitle a celebrity guest that would walk around with him asking similar questions. He has a lot of energy and jokes that keep everything interesting while interviewing. I like how he goes to different parts of the city and goes up to random people because they have no idea what the question might be. Compared to me I am also do not telling my subject anything prior to the interview.

Dirty glove bastard is a digital music marketing and management consulting company that does a series of interviews called "off the porch". The series consists of interviews with the popular artist talking about their life and how they got to the point that they are at right now. The reason I like these videos is how it is just the subject in the idea with the interviewer in the background just asking questions. The differnt angles from the different cameras also give a different perspective and possibly a differnt emotion from the interviewer and what they might be talking about.

Nardwuar the human serviette was a previous lead singer and keyboardist for the Canadian group called the evaporators. After He is known for his quickness and high energy His interview style is very different when it comes to asking questions or making a statement. He would know very small facts about his interviews and they would be stunned that he mentioned or asked that question. His interviews are typically in a music setting such as a recording studio, record store, and possibly at a venue like a concert. The reason I like him is because of his high energy and being able to keep the crowd and the interviewer engaged.
