An introduction to the thought and work of Woody and Steina Vasulka, pioneers of electronic art. From the late 60's in New York, where they inadvertently founded The Kitchen, to their present home in New Mexico, this tape follows the arc of their career with excerpts from many of their works, and interviews that illuminate the sources of the work.

They have each followed their own path, Woody into the inner logic and demands of the electronic machine, Steina into the images of the world and the ways they can be manipulated and presented. Shot over a two year period, this tape presents a most comprehensive view of their life of creative work.
