For the second year running, the Silver Star Prize for art was awarded to a video artist, raising again the big question: What is great art? Many have condemned this year's choice on the grounds that a documentary-style video film cannot be considered as creative art at all in the way that, say, painting and sculpture can. The Silver Star jury, however, praised the 'emotional force of the work and its complexity beneath an apparently simple surface'. If they are right in this evaluation, then clearly video is as much a medium for great art as any other form of expression.
