Georges is a video about Georges Noel and his relationship to video and audio feedback. Julie is a video dance work featuring dancer Julie Finch, two cameras, and a switcher. Tom Lillard stars in Moran, where both the acting and the video dissolve together while performing a segment of Samuel Beckett's novel, Molloy. Omar is El Uno features five audio tracks that are expressive of the layered construction of soundtracks for video. Nat explores the single room occupancy hotel of a resident at the end of his life. In Walking (interstices), Ingrid Wiegand layers three realities of daily life with her camera. And Face-Off features both Robert and Ingrid Wiegand in a two-channel work which seeks to simultaneously explain video signals and the nature of relationships. Lastly, How to Tell An Artist provides Dr. Sheldon Cholst with a platform for expressing his views on the subject from the perspective of a Psychiatrist. Chameleon Compilation is a clip reel including most of these works that was shown at the Chameleon Club in NYC in 1988.
