A conversational lecture questioning what he (Douglas Davis) believes video art is and is not through slices of stories and informal analogies.

He explains theories on video and television such as:

-television speaks to one mind, not to a public mind

-we must rescue the free man inside by ignoring perceptions of what 'video' or the medium is all about. Video and television are just the language or paper for a communication that have always been the core of art for the last 100 years.

Using stories from his life, he explains how video art fits into a long tradition of art as communication, is really no different then sculpture or painting.
