“In the multi-monitor installations and single-channel videotapes that they have produced collaboratively and as individual artists for twenty-five years, the Vašulkas have systematically pursued two allied projects: an investigation of the agency of the machine and a phenomenological project of mapping the intrinsic properties of electronic media as they affect the viewer. Their work stands not only at the juncture of the mechanical and the electronic, but also between modernism and postmodernism. One could define it as a modernist project – to define the aesthetic language of a specific media and to distinguish the properties of those media in relationship to other systems of visual representation. Yet, in their continuing investigations into the tenuous nature of authorship in the context of the machine, their work call also be seen as a postmodern questioning.”
