Time-based art are mainly consists of pieces of art which include video, film, slide, audio or computer-based technology. These are known as time-based art pieces as they have duration as a dimension and unfold to the viewer over time.
Artists make very specific decisions for their choice of media and how it is presented in their work. Specific equipment may be important if the artist might want to put across a certain quality of sound or image.
It is important when working with time based art, to be mindful of what will be important in the future and which historical links should be maintained; this all goes towards conserving time-based art. Conservators identify the risks of the deterioration and change of art, and aim to minimise this change.
An important influenced on time-based art is its connection to fast-changing technology. This requires the knowledge and a clear understanding of which form of media is suitable for the work. As well as new media, the Tate gallery's collection of time-based media art contains work using older technologies such as film and slide-based installations.
