The Aesthetics of Narcissism

It seems as if Krauss is implying that video can be nothing more than narcissistic. Typically people are often seen recording themselves to express the idea with video art, such as the man pointing at the center of the television for twenty minutes. It seems as if video is being used to show only the artist and not much else. Krauss makes the argument that video is focused solely on the people being filmed. It is understandable to see this reasoning, but video is also used to record memories and actions, not just the people involved.
