What is a videopoem?

• a work of art which uses the techniques of
  television poetry to inform, move, inspire. A
  videopoem must be true, and it should probably be
  beautiful. There are pictures and there are
  sounds. Always remember there are things you see
  and things you hear, and they come together at
  the same time.
• Mediamike Hazard, video artist and poet from MN

  film.
