The following paper explores the work of several contemporary visual artists who frequently choose as their medium video installations or video performance. Their works probe into the nature of perception and representation, examining the relation between the visible and the seer, and involving the seer in a variety of visual games. More often than not they are concerned with visual representation as the distortion of reality, or indeed the misrepresentation of the real. The versatility of modern technologies has allowed contemporary artists for recreating many a theoretical speculation, making their artwork an interesting supplement to the numerous theories of perception.
