Video Art Arizona is a platform for artists and galleries working with moving image, video, and related visual media. Through screenings, performances, and informal gatherings, we support exploratory work that exists between projection, installation, and live practice. Video Art Arizona is curated and hosted by Chris Piraino and Jimmy Peggie.
Video art and other forms of moving‑image art can transform how we perceive the world. A projection might wrap around a suspended structure; a video loop might interact with sensors; a sculptural object might cast shadows that become part of the narrative. The work is rarely passive. It asks viewers to move, listen, and sometimes even intervene. Here ideas are tested, broken, rebuilt, and tested again.
Through installations, exhibits, workshops, and open studios, we invite audiences to experience how technology can be poetic rather than purely functional. It challenges the assumption that video belongs only on screens, demonstrating instead that it can inhabit rooms, objects, and entire buildings.
In cultural times defined by rapid technological change, we offer a space where experimentation is not only encouraged but appreciated. It reminds us that video and moving images are more than entertainment but rather tools for reimagining space, storytelling, and perception itself.
