Sumario: The purpose of this article is to approach videoform and video-art from an aesthetic perspective. To do so, firstly I present a reflection about the statusof the image in Western culture, trying to bring forth its obscure character and the fear it seems to have always generated. This point is based on platonic arguments that lead us to conceive a possible path towards overcoming iconoclasm through surrealism, film and photography. From that standpointI draw an ontology of the video-form that, in the last part of the text, enables us to reach an aesthetic reading of video-art.
