"Refers to art that is dependent on technology and has a durational dimension"-the Tate Gallery
"Early examples of time-based media date back to the 1960s, in particular the art of Bruce Naumen, who would record happenings to be played back in the gallery. His Performance Corridor, made in 1968, was a recording of a performance in which people edged their way down a dark narrow tunnel. Since Nauman’s early explorations, artists have also experimented with the elasticity of the medium in order to stretch time and space. In 1993 Douglas Gordon slowed down Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho for twenty-four hours."-the Tate Gallery
Time based media is an often contemporary art form. They can be created with video, film,slide,audio or computer based technologies. These are referred to as time based media because they have a duration as a dimension and unfold to the viewer over time, according to the temporal logic of the medium.
