In 1975 the artists began collaboratively making video-environments; from 1980 to the early 1990Ìs Hooykaas and Stansfield were producing videotapes, video-installations, video-sculptures and sound sculptures and in the last decade of their collaborative practice they realized interactive installations and outdoor sculptural works.
