[D]uring the 1980s and in particular the 1990s, two subsequent generations of artists developed a new language of moving image installation, which participated in the exhibition and collecting structures of museums and private patrons, and constructed stable moving-image environments. Artists such as Gary Hill, Bill Viola, Nam June Paik and Susan Hiller (exhibited these installations) in the main galleries of museums and in large, prestiguous exhibitions such as Documenta and the Venice Biennale. In the 1990s a younger generation of artists, including Stan Douglas, Douglas Gordon, Shirin Neshat, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Gillian Wearing, Steve McQueen, Pierre Huyghe, Isaac Julien, and Doug Aitken made projective video installation a primary medium, yet did not define themselves as video artists. Most also made work in other media and some, such as Douglas, Tacita Dean, and Liisa Roberts, worked especially in film, making installations, using 16 mm film projectors and film loopers.
