‘A live interactive installation (using no recording equipment) which, as the participant moves through, progressively separates and distances his/her image from its origin.’ David Hall 1974

‘Many early installations were devised as a complex analogical mirror where the viewer, interacting with his/her image as collaborator rather than spectator, was simultaneously the viewed in a process of ‘self-referring consciousness’. It is quite evident here that artists were intent on exploring relationships of hitherto unapproachable psychological innovation and response, where the formal, physical (and technological) framework was essentially the site of the experience…’ David Hall, Early Video Art: A Look at a Controversial History, Diverse Practices: A Critical Reader on British Video Art 1996.
