Switch! Monitor! Drift! (1976) by Steina Vašulka

Multiplied and "rippling" across the screen, as if on the surface of an electric liquid, Steina's face appears seen slightly from below. After a few seconds it becomes recognizable, attentively serious,looking out of the screen in our direction. Suddenly from the right edge-of the screen a form intrudes, a form that is Steina's silhouette. From the left edge another form appears, a video camera pointed toward - the opposite face. The image stands like a kind of signature and then is transformed by the recognition that in silhouette we can see how the image that is facing us was made; whether the images in silhouette are the source of the background image is not that important-they could be . What is important is the sense one also gets from looking at Nam June Paik's Video Buddha (who contemplates a video camera pointing at himself). Video is a mirror that permits us to better see ourselves.
