Video Art II questions

1. In the very beginning of the reading it talks about why advertising isn't considered video art. The reason being is that advertisements have a purpose in trying to sell something to the audience while video art is done just for the artists personal reasons. The reading also compares video art to traditional media several times and there are some traditional media posters that are still considered art even though they are a type of advertisement. So what makes advertisements in traditional media such as posters considered art more than the advertisements made by video?

 2. I've realized that many of if not most of the video art done is very abstract. Not only the images but also sound. But I wonder, what makes a good video art? What makes one video art piece stand out more than the other? Are most of the successful video art abstract?
