Ch. 2 Video Art Questions

1. On page 85 according to Graham the difference between video and film is described as "video is recorded and revealed instant time..." and "Film is contemplative and "distanced"'. Video, film and art are all subjective, why has the writer not made note of this?

2. Throughout this reading there are numerous artists that use installations as their form of video art. If I were to watch one of these installations, say from home and not at the opening, I wouldn't know how to interpret some of the meanings being translated. Will there always be a reason to communicate "personal messages" in video art as most of the examples given in this reading?
