In Proposal for QUBE, which was designed as a video installation, d'Agostino comments on the dangers of "unchecked mass communication," and the manipulation inherent in television. He conceived of a theoretical model for an interactive video cablecast for the TWO-WAY QUBE cable television system...
In this work, Rosler presents a short but incisive statement. A mechanical toy figure dressed as an American soldier plays "God Bless America" on a trumpet. The camera pans down, revealing that the toy's camouflage-clad trouser leg has been rolled up to uncover a mechanism that looks uncannily like a prosthetic limb.
A documentation of a live performance at New York University, Pryings is a graphic exploration of the physical and psychological dynamics of male/female interaction, a study in control, violation and resistance. Acconci writes, "The performer will not come to terms, she shuts herself off, inside the box (monitor), my attempt is to force her to face out, fit into the performer's role, come out in the open."
"The sub-personalities of me, as baby, athlete, witch and artist are synthesized in this film of superimpositions, intensities, and color layers coming together through the powers of film." — Barbara Hammer
In this documentation of a performance at New York University, an overhead camera circles above Acconci and Kathy Dillon. In a dark auditorium, Acconci walks in a circle around Dillon, while she moves in the center. Staring at each other, they try to maintain eye contact while following the other's changes in direction and speed. Acconci has stated, "I might be trying to crowd her, drive her to a standstill—she might be trying to draw me into her, stop me from circling...I might be trying to remain an observer, detached, on the outside."
This unique documentary on the downtown New York music scene is a collage of music, performance and commentary in which Atlas captures the energy and pluralism that characterize this urban milieu.

QUARKS is a rigorous analysis of how television functions. Structured in a series of thirty-second intervals, three layers of information — sound, image and written texts — are ironically juxtaposed with TV patter. D'Agostino questions the meaning of what is seen and heard on television by...
In the beginning of Railroad Turnbridge, Serra frames the span of landscape visible through the railroad bridge over the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. The camera remains stationary, while the bridge rotates 360 degrees, creating an illusion of what is standing still and what is moving....
Employing archival film clips and new video, Atlas' self-described "video montage" is a portrayal of filmmaker/choreographer Yvonne Rainer. While an extended interview with Rainer runs throughout the piece, four "performers" enact and re-enact the interview. Atlas undermines genre conventions, shuffling and superimposing image and voice tracks to yield a video palimpsest of theatricality and ambiguity.
