L. Shirey, "Video Art Turns to Abstract Imagery."
New
York Times (July 4, 1972): 6.
David
L. Shirey reviews the Video Festival, organized by the Vasulkas,
which was held at The Kitchen in July 1972. Even though he finds
some works "tediously repetitive," he praises the "feeling
of discovery, the impression of experiencing a new phenomenon."
He comments on works by the Vasulkas, Aldo Tambellini, Stephen
Beck, and Nam
June Paik, and describes the various techniques that video artists
employ. The article includes several quotes by Woody Vasulka, who
states that video is still in its infancy, and that "All the
video artists are like one big family learning from one another
and thinking about video art's big future."

Kranz, "Interview with Woody Vasulka." Science and Technology
in the Arts: A Tour Through the Realm of Science/Art.
New
York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Co. (1974): 281-82.
In this
1974 interview, Woody Vasulka describes his evolution from documentary
filmmaking, via multi-screen projections, to the electronic medium
of video. He states, "The kinetic portion of the image is more
important than the image itself... The whole gate to it was the
signal." Vasulka describes his fascination with the electronic
medium, which he finds so vast that it is like "a universe
that has never been explored."
