i think vjing is not video performance art in the same way that say ant farm was

http://www.radicalsoftware.org/volume1nr5/pdf/VOLUME1NR5_art21.pdf

esp. them going to the democratic national convention
some very gutsy artists film political uprisings
i think that is video performance art
- the (very known) thompson sq. riot video of the dude getting pummeled by a cop
while filming and hanging on a light pole -
the article could be very diverse - other subjects are - so...

alot of artists use projection on architecture
bill viola yes but also vito acconci to me is a video performance artist
(among other things)
gary hill is amazingly so
http://streamingmediaworld.com/video/docs/gh/
matt mullican's virtual art and other works
miranda july - both could b considered
also some performance artists utilize video/film - to me that could be included
chris burden - lauri anderson - ana mendieta - many others
michael snow is under "electronic art" as is lauri anderson
other people are considered "video artists" in wiki'
i have projected imagry onto bands others do this alot
it is mentioned in "video performance art" but noone is mentioned
anton corbijn is a 'famous' one
http://www.corbijn.co.uk/
they mention the video toaster but miss eyecandy

some music videos are to me video performance art - spike jonze +
there could be a bridge to 'film performance'
- expanded cinema - (not mentioned at all)
but i do not think that crap like i saw at views is inclusive
- wooster group video of a play they did - that used video in the play
meaning just because something is documented on video
it does not mean it is "video performance art" - but others may differ
wiki' often has discoursive deviation
but...
this is perty funny ('dispute')
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_film
not very up 2 date
plus anthology is mentioned but not linked to - lotsa missing stuff

i am not sure regionalism is the best dilineator but it is often used
