"...videØvoid: Text convinces through its intelligent use of electronic ‘material’ as point of departure for a composition that surefootedly moves on the other side of simple exploitation of effects. It is precisely the formal severity that contribute to the powerful effect...From the noise of interference—effects everybody knows in themselves—spaces and landscapes of dark innovative beauty arise...It represents a discourse wholly outside current TV standards." (Jury statement for the ‘97 International Award for Video Art)
