Rule out

1. Does “inherited from television and imported into art practice” only refer to “video technology “ or “the feedback loop” or “both the feedback loop and the monitor”?

2. Does “rules out” in the following context mean “prevents from”?

3. I think “reflector” should be “reflection”. What is your idea?

In the 1970s, video technology was characterised by the feedback loop and the monitor, as inherited from television and imported into art practice by artists such as Bruce Nauman, Vito Acconci, Joan Jonas, Richard Serra and Nancy Holt. For Krauss, the narcissistic element of video rules out a material consciousness of space and time both within the medium itself and in terms of the response it might generate from a spectator. Instead, she says the monitor behaves like a mirror which creates a self-enclosed loop between the artist as performer and the artist as reflector, positions which are encouraged by the technology, which centres the body ‘between two machines that are the opening and closing of a parenthesis (i.e. camera and monitor)’.
