This series contains transcriptions of interviews conducted between 1966 and 1999. Revised versions of some of these texts have been published in various periodicals and exhibition catalogues.

In addition to biographical information on Steina and Woody Vasulka and descriptions of installations and videotapes they have produced, this series provides information on the development of video art communities in the United States since the late sixties. The series also includes interviews with instrument designers and artists such as Skip Sweeney, Tom Dewitt, Stephen Beck, Dan Sandin, Steve Rutt, Lee Harisson, Don Buchla, Bill Etra, Bill Hearn and Eric Siegel, who discuss the birth of the technological components they have invented. The series consists mainly of interview transcriptions as well as original issues and photocopies of parts of periodicals in which these transcriptions were published.
