MTV's death was a long time coming—and its final disappearance is less an ending than a confirmation: the frame that once held music visuals together has shattered into a thousand screens, formats and feeds.
We now inhabit an era where the classical music video has lost its primacy—displaced by visual albums, short-form content, AI-generated imagery, gaming environments and the curated chaos of the social media grid. It is one node among many. But as visual ambition expands, a counter-question emerges: are we losing the power of the singular, focused image?
This panel brings together visual artists, creatives and XR designers to map the new visual landscape—examining which formats carry genuine weight, how visual identity holds together across incompatible platforms, and what it means to make images that outlast the feed.
