“In their conceptualization about the nature of their basic material – the electronic waveform – and their development and integration of image-making techniques, the Vašulkas have described their process of working as more akin to that of the researcher than the artist (at least as the latter is conceived as the maker of previsioned aesthetic objects or expressive statements). Yet their self-reflexive use of video falls very much within a contemporary tradition of visual, musical and literary artists contemplating and extending the nature of their materials … This is not to imply that their work is primarily didactic, for the tapes exhibit a sparse but meaningful use of symbolic imagery, a subtle wit and an immense beauty. The Vašulkas’ tapes also evidence the potentials of video to create new kinds of image experiences, while manifesting some underlying aspects of the medium which make these new types of imagery possible.”
