Video installations are identified as the means of communication of the artists' manifestations via a display, set in a certain environment. Therefore we can call video installations site specific artwroks, because they react to their enviornmnet and vica versa.
An inherited and inborn intention for people to peep has remained on the instinctual level from childhood and the curiousity by which we have discovered the world, in some individuals more or less. Duchamp calls peeping the way to discover new horizons. To see the world in a different view you need to take up various angles of observation. You can find details you would never unless there was no curiousity and peeping.
Coming back to the concept of video installation, we have to note, that they are representing this particular point of view of the artist and make it dependent on the beholder, to interact, if possible phisically by turning some features on but on the level of thoughts taken for sure.
The important aspects besides artistic ganuity are the targer audience, the setting, timing and many externalities that we need to take into account when setting up an installation in order to get the expected output from the project.
