I've always felt video art is not real "art", and the reading on the subject did not help nor hinder seeing it any differently. It was a complicated reading and I did not enjoy it as much as I thought I would. However, with our second reading assignment, I was able to find some kind of connection and meaning. It reminded me of last year’s visiting artist Marissa Olson who does a lot of video art and video related works. As part of a student workshop I was able to work with her and a couple of program students on the exact assignment I don’t consider art, but rather extreme boredom. A mashup! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pd_btlnABTs
The experience was good, but I still feel as though video art and contemporary/modern art could be summed up by this. http://www.designformankind.com/images/2009/03/new-math-400x274.jpg
Nevertheless, if you have a good theory behind your work you can definitely make it work.
