According to Mike Johnson, "as a result of its roots in television, video is associated with advertisement and enticement, seducing the viewer in to a suggestible state. Thus rooted as it is in popular culture, video art is well placed to question our cultural beliefs and attitudes, whether overtly or more subtly."
