As improved computer and Internet technologies create accessible avenues for artists to present their work, the development of secondary works on video that capture primary activities out in the real world, in real time, is becoming a popular medium. This is especially true for artists who address environmental issues in their art, as many works are performed for a limited audience, typically out in the landscape. And, for artists whose primary medium is video, engaging the natural world includes employing historical footage, fictive narratives, and layers of humor and poetic license.
