Why I Want My Mtv: Music Video and Aesthetic Communication

by Kevin Williams

Rather than providing another interpretation of the meaning of the music video, the author seeks instead to provide an explication of music video that is more concerned with what can be called their presentational value and ability to bring to expression, through technology, a cultural vision of human perceptual experience. Music video, it is argued, does not merely present itself,but makes present important aspects of communicative experience, embodiment, technology, and the world.
