The development of video art is closely tied with technology, communication, and life style. In the era of digitalization, video art has followed technologies in life and making revolutionizing progression. From all aspects, such as the shooting, post-production, or presentation, the expressions of video art is multifaceted. From the early single channel display to the current integration into the exhibition space or even the incorporation with digital facilities, expansive and charismatic presentations are all possible. This creative genre has also become quite popular in international exhibitions.

The direction of this study is a qualitative one, and the creative method utilizes data collecting, documentation discussion and examination of the works, and furthermore, daily life, cultural theories, creative art are especially analyzed with in-depth inspections. At the same time, further analysis is also made regarding the development of video art and its ways of presentation. All of these elements come to form the fundamental structure of the video art installation titled, “Little by Little”.

The creative concept of “Little by Little” derives from everyday life. It deals with the changing relationships between people and dwelling space, and also living circumstances and daily amenities. An issue is brought forth about the people’s spatial “existence”. The execution is made by presenting fragmental changes of daily life through video art, and duo projection screens are utilized to display the video works simultaneously. The images, possessing their individual time and space, are shown through the duo screens and come to form and share a similar spatial relationship in the process. The outcome of the creative works shows that bits from the mundane daily life when juxtaposed on the duo screens, the two individual elements, besides interacting with each other, through the gesture of the artist, can also provide brand new connections and meanings for the images.
